Default 352'' LSX 275 special

We'll with the growing interest in 275 radial tire racing, we thought it would be good to design a turbo engine capable in competing in the class. There has been a couple turbos in the class but nothing competitive. The reason why-their not built properly. Plenty of nmra cars with 88's been in the 7's so there is no reason that it won't work.

We've spent the last 10 months designing this engine from the ground up. Lots of hours or simulation work as well as dyno r&d on other turbo combinations led us to this particular combination.

Keep in mind, this is only for the serious guys that want to win. This engine is not for the faint of heart.

Short stroke. Big bore. Solid roller. Big heads for the cubes. Extra head bolts. I would think that it would like to rev.

So this is setup for something like a gt47-88 turbo correct? Are the heads and block setup with your double o-ring to handle high boost. I know you dont want to give too much away but im hoping its high compression?

the Precision pro mod 88 would be a better match. Yes it has our std double oring setup. The compression isn't low-i'll tell you that much.

Got to be just a touch more then 3.622 right? A 3.905 bore (bored LS1 with stock stroke =347ish) 352 is just a touch more. I wonder how the harmonics are on her? He did say custom crank though.

i never said what the bore was,just that the lsx was 3.900. Sometimes you got to think outside the box and realize that parts can be modified from their original form to make them do what you want them to do.
