    Do you know how they measure hp on this forum?
    Also I changed the exhaust to 2.5 inch because the car was way to loud. I must have lost some hp there.

      I'm having fuel starvation problems when the car gets hot. Anybody run into this?

        Fuel overheating? I'm not sure. I'm assuming your regulator/filter is working properly?

              It's a long and expensive process. The little things get you. I wanted new window seals and all the bmw functions to work with the ls engine. Buying all the m3 parts hurts also. The car has all brand new e30 m3 suspension, brakes not to mention cluster and evo hood seals etc.

                I not sure what it is yet. I'm investigating it next week.

                    It's an ls3 480 crate engine. The engine has a cam from the factory.

                        Those dyno numbers are pretty good. Any future mods planned for the ls3?

                          I'll leave this car as is. It's a convertible and I think the power it has is adequate. I'll build another coupe eventually with a cage and then give it boost.
