My car is almost ready now for some kind of power maker. I'm just torn on which way I want to go . I love the idea of building a super strong block and boosting the **** out of it for undeniable power, but its going to be a stret car that won't see much actual drag time, maybe two three times a year at best. I also love the idea of a procharger. And a Naturally aispirated motor thats hotter than a two peckered billy goat really tickles my fancy too. Money isn't a huge concern. I just wana know what would be the most "efficent" stop light racer . Btw the fastest car around where I am is a single turboed FWD eclipse thats had about 3k stuck into it..... yeah its a ricer

 

are you wanting to build a motor too? a couple turbo sponsors on here make it pretty easy to set up a front mount turbo..or yeah procharger works well too with more of that N/A sound and feel you like..but building boost on a 2 step at a light next to that ricer will be pretty bad *** too

 

Heads, cam, and a K&N should take it.

 

Yes a complete Motor rebuild is going to be done either way but for the type of motor rebuild i'd like to know which way i should go so that i know what i should get for parts so i know what kind of compression I wana shoot for. It's going to be strong as **** regardless though I have 8000 set aside for just parts for that beatiful LS1

 

I not only wana take it... I wana blow its doors off

 

8000 for the whole engine?
i think u might want to get more cash if you want a door slamming LS sengine.

 

where do you live?

 

I say pick up a D1SC kit and run it on a safe boost level. It will be more than driveable and you'll romp on everyone in your town.

 

no 8000 just for the motor internals. I wana know what power adder to go with before i pick my head so my budget for that is undecided. I live in northwest IA lol not much for fast street cars around alot of stock mustang GT's and ricers

 

Dang I wanna live there.

 

It would help if you could define what kind of power you are looking for. There is a big difference in cost between a 600 rwhp FI build as opposed to 800 or more. Other items come into play too, are you a 6 speed or auto? Stock rear & suspension? Your total bill may come to more than you are thinking.

 

Just sell yours and buy mine and call it a day LOL



It put down 650 RWHP last summer on 7 psi with the stock APS turbos. I just installed the bigger LG turbos and installed 10psi spings with a custom scacvanging pump and am getting re-dynoed next month if intrested LOL Ive got over 50K into her and shes number 1989 out of 3000 ever made incase your intrested

 

What are your coils mounted on - very cool installation.

 

Shouldnt be hard at all to build something potent.

Im about 5500 into my build including buying a 6.0L.

By the time im done with building the motor and possibly heads I should be around 7000 bucks, but I already had all my turbo setup from my last LT1 built, just had to build new headers.

It looks like he mounted them on his Strut tower brace...

Kev

 

I agree! Bob

 

I'm stock 6 speed and built 10 bolt rear end. I plan on doing a clutch this summer anyways so im gonna just go ***** deep and get a Mcloed twin disc. I would love to have a 650 hp car but i'm not sure if a built 10 bolt could handle that I would be very happy with 500-550 though

 

Lol I would think very strongly about it. the whole car or just the motor are you selling?
