lq4 build in Grand National
I just bought my first LS motor the other day for a build that I hope will turn my GN into a beast. $500 for a LQ4 w/ harness, truck manifolds and ECM. Had 170,000 on the motor but I took the valve covers off and not one bit of sludge, crud or anything. Really really clean. Owner was old man who babied the truck.
My question is:
Is it better to run (2) TE60 turbos or one big PT88??? This will be a street car once in a while (taking it out maybe 20 times per summer) and a strip car maybe 5-10 times per year.
Here is the rest of the build:
LQ4 LS .030 over
Forged Rods w/ ARP 2000
Forged Wiseco pistons
Stock crank
317 ported heads
60lbs. injectors
Methanol Dual injection
T400 w/ 3500 stall
Ford 9" detroit locker w/ 3.50 gears
I would like to aim for around 800hp at the rear wheels. Don't know if the twin TE60's will get me there.
thanks
