The stock bottom end wont hold 900whp. You'll need forged pistons and rods.


There are many different options available to you. I would check with some of the vendors. They offer some great products at good prices.

You will need a big cubic inch motor built specifically for heavy nitrous use, direct port, proper drivetrain, a very wide array of other things to go along with building a car of this nature and the resources to constantly work on the car because it will break often


...and pretty deep pockets

Yea..... NOT GONNA HAPPEN. 900 rwhp on nitrous is possible, but not w/ the stock cubes. 300-350 shot is about the max you can spray on these blocks w/o lifting the heads. So that means you will need 550-600 rwhp on motor. To achieve this you will need at minimum 402+ CI. But if you are asking this you are not even close ready to consider a setup like this. Have you ever even driven a H/C car??? 900 rwhp is much more realistic w/ a FI setup.

yeah, when i read this I was wondering if this guy was serious. 900 at the wheels, let alone at the crank, is not gonna be possible on the stock bottom end unless you want to try and get it on a dyno once, but its gonna kablam way before you hit your mark. is this serious?

Ive seen what it takes to make that power from ESP's n2o record holding LSX based motor and even their Black car, its going to cost $$$ and your going to be breaking parts or lifting heads regardless of how forged the parts are.

DO you just want a dyno queen, or this a realistic goal?

no wait, I heard you can do it but you gotta have the ss hood and spoiler, or else its not going to work. just get an fi setup that allows you to run 30+ lbs of boost and do me a big favor: lean over the motor while its on the dyno to make sure your heads dont lift, but lean real close to it. be sure to get it all on video and have your friend post it on youtube while you are in the hospital/ground. btw this is a joke, dont really do it I will not be sued.

I actually thought his delivery was the funny part, no so much he didn't know it was tough to do.

Like "hey i want a billion HP, could you please tell me everything I need, include part #'s, lowest price vendors (with phone#), instructions on how to install and I'll need it by tomorrow, kthxbye"

But he did say "any help is appreciated" so I can't make THAT much fun of him.
I'm just not being that much help, har har.

The stock bottom end will not handle the power levels you're trying to achieve on nitrous.

To make a reliable 900rwhp on nitrous, you're talking after market everything, all you need is $$$.It's possible and it's been done, just not sure why you'd consider running that much nitrous besides money.

For 900 rwhp, look at a procharger or turbo setup with something around 40x cubic inches and a set of good flowing heads.

Build a reliable cam only car that makes 400 hp, and then shoot a 500 shot at it. I have seen it done. It lasted 1/2 of a pass.

you can either go with a 370 + ci motor with a large amount of boost and maybe a little spray, or a huge 454 Lsx+ or just a plain old BBC to run just nitrous and make 900 whp. I guess there are ways to do it, but your not trying to run competition eliminator or anything, so why force high h/p outof small cubes if you dont have to?
