money is not every thing.
of course you need $$, but knowlage will save you tons and tons of $$$
the easy way to do something is get a pile of $$ and ship your car off, or for a 1/4 of the price you do it yourself.

The only labor I have paid for was someone to actually assemble my engine.
Just too much money in parts for me to mess that up!!!
I had someone quote me over $1k in labor to do a cam swap. Right then I decided to do everything I could myself.

okay- i agree-but from this guys point of view -he wants to go quick-but he is in kuwait and the way he is coming across-he does not have the man power to build it himself-
i am sure he wants the parts and stuff from the us or a engine built and ready to go from the us-
i am sure he can do the labour stuff jimself-put the engine and stuff in but the freight and tunning side of things will be expensive has he already stated-
thats where i am coming from-
apart from that money in our life style aint everything when compared to our families and stuff-

without the knolage or man power you should probably start doing all your homework first, and start off slow rather then try to dive right in and do somthing no one has done yet. give it a shot if you have the wallet, if not stay with steps, or be prepaird to pay

Now you just have to ask yourself how much you are going to have to spray to get there. If you make alot of motor then you don't have to spray alot. Either way you will have to have 2 stages or more to get the power you need. This has actually been my goal for sometime now. My car weighs in at 3020 with me in it. My high compression solid roller 412ci dart headed with sheetmetal intake and all the goodies to boot makes 559rwhp and 600+rwtq through an auto and 9in. You need to make atleast that just to be able to spray enough to get to the 1100rwhp mark. I plan on spraying 300 on each stage for a total of 600. I have done the 300 and the car made 820rwhp with the fogger but I was unable to get it right. I have since switched to a dry kit. Big injectors and a stout pump with 120 octane should get me there. It is hard to do and you will hurt things on the way. Since there is no one right now with that kind of power it is going to be hard to copy anyone. You just have to do it yourself and find out what works and what doesn't. I have spent an assload of money in my process and I still havn't made it there.

Guys.. i've talked with alot companies and they said with blower, high boost and LSX block 6 bolts you could see the low 7s but with LSX block and two stages they said maybe in mid or high 7s
I asked a company for motor to be in high 7s or low 8s and they give me these specs ( 455cid LSX block - ET Heads 255 - Solid cam 660."lift ) with two stage of nitrous around 500 shots. Is this would be worth??

Before a while some shops they have agreements with some Americans pro tuner guys and we have deal with some of them but they asked for a huge amount.
Guys.. now the level that i arrive it is block LSX, ET heads 6 bolts (1/2"), sheet metal custom intake manifold and tow stages of nitrous.
W2W will cantact them soon after i get some estimates from other companies.

To run 7's you will need a 454LSX solid roller, Sheetmetal Intake, 2 inch headers, 3 stage nitrous system with over 500 on the first 2 stages and another 200 on the third, powerglide transmission, weight around 2600lbs or so..... and above all..... the right tuner to keep the combo alive.
Canadian Performance, Wheel2Wheel, or hkracingengines can all build you a great LSX block....
For the Sheetmetal intake I would recommend you contract Wilson Manifolds or a Beck Manifolds.
You will need a complete 1500rwhp fuel system. I couldnt imagine what that would cost.
plan to spend the house on suspension to get that fast straight. Madman, Wolfe both make suspension parts that will get ya going straight.
Wheels can be picked up from SJM Manufacturing... I think they sell Bogarts.

The spelling is correct
Yeah Dustin i know him, he's a nice guy.. and his work was excellent You're correct about the guys
You clarified an important point for us about tuning option and tend to run carbs setup for most drag racing cars.
You're right about that setup because now that's all what i've found it to be is 7s. and still waiting for other companies.
Thanks for the advice
Moderators.. why my thread have been moved to nitous section?? i'm looking for an engine ideas not for nitrous!!!
Please let me know

Fahad,
Tell me where you want this thread and I'll move it - maybe the Drag Racing Tech forum?
edit - I went ahead and moved it there with a redirect and put a new title up for you "7 second engine recommendations"

Guys I go to Kuwait on a regular basis and you would not believe the kind of money these guys have over there to spend on stuff.... They take Lamborghini's and drive them thru the mud for fun..... A 250,000 dollar setup is pocket change.....
Fahad, your two biggest problems as I see it is not getting someone to build the engine for you cuz money is money.... W2W would start working on it right now for the right price. your problem is going to be finding someone to tune it and really having an understanding about the difference between running 9.50's and 7's..... EVERYTHING on that car will probably need to be replaced or modified..... 6 point cage????? HAHAHAHAHA. That ain't gonna work. I just don't want to see you kill yourself putting a 7 second engine in front of a car that isn't ready for it.... I would say get yourself a plane ticket and go to W2W and talk to them in person. And then have them ship you the car when it is done.... A 7 second motor needs a 7 second car built around it..... If W2W builds you a car they will probably come out to kuwait and help you tune it and learn to drive it..... But that's gonna be big money. If you have the cash anythings possible....

I'm sure you know this, but there is a hell of a lot more involved in
building a 7 second car than just the motor. I'm assuming that you're
talking a backhalf car?

Getting someone, ship the car and get plane ticket!!!!!!!!
i know it's a good idea but if you want to pay for everything will agree If i got more money i will stay in states for a while and buy a good drag car completed.
We've built the car for drag and no problem to build it again for the new engine. All the companies that i talked with them, they already asked me about the car setup and what's the recommendations to handle the new engine on the car so we've got everything about the car to be ready for 7s
7s class have a rules and to qualified we should to application of rules
Steven Ferreday AKA Worm Boy has been 7.98 in a limited street /stock suspension setup. LS1 single turbo. Those cars have to weigh 3300 I think, In a lighter car with that setup would go mid 7's.

With weigh 3300 and stock suspension in 7s
so why the others told me you can't see the 7s with that weight?
