Monster Project 434 LSX PICS!

I have enjoyed over the years looking at all your different projects. Now...finally....it's my turn!

We are starting my project which will be a LSX block bored to .30 over for a 434 ci. with twin turbos. This will be a long project so i will post pics from time to time. This is a total "one off" project so there will be lots of fabrication.

TURBOS I PLAN TO USE...TURBONETICS GT-K 650's (66mm)

No huge plans. Not gonna race the 1320 much just for ***** and giggles once in a while! Looking at a low boost (15 to 18) of a nice streetable 1000rwhp and on high boost....your guess is as good as mine.

Those are great turbos but to small for that setup. Talk to LASTLS1 on this board..he tried smaller units and had backpressure problems, then switched and has had nothing but sucess with the newer larger units.

Looking good, who is making the intake, I assume you have a 4.250" crank? I would almost be inclined to use a 4" stroke and let it rev, mine just levels off and continues to make power to 8000+.

Please, if you can explain further as i am always interested in counter opinions. Thanks...

Very nice, that combination should be fairly capable of passing in traffic.
