LS3 sound pretty bad ass man, if you got the time and money i'd say go for it.
depending on the miles u have on the current engine that is.
got to remember its a FAST car, so most dumb ppl beat the shit out of them so you need to know that that's obviously what this kid did too

That would be epic, theres nothing like the scream of a roots type supercharger, not to mention theres no lag with that type of FI.

A drop in LS3 wouldn't be great. To do it you need the sensor conversion harness to adapt the crank wheel pulses. Works like shit.

L99 with 6L60? Thats the reason I sold my car. What a shit setup. LOL
