power adder advice
power adder advice I have a 408 n/a Lq9 11.5.1 comp motor with good internals. Was interested in a turbo or supercharger set up just wasn't sure if it was possible with my current set up. What are my options? Thanks for any advice! More concerned with my compression.
Thanks guys, who should I contact to help me get the ball rolling? I'm not sure what way I'm gonna go turbo or supercharger? It's not a race car yet I still drive it on the street, **** it still has a/c on it.

it would leave less room for error, but then again there really is no room to begin with. itll will be insane with some good fuel.

I would start by finding a turbo like the one i posted on forcedinductions.com. Its $1600 and is perfect size for your 408. Then i would have someone like Martin at tick spec you a cam. Then get a new converter. I went through ptc and it was $450 for them to build me one. Then buy all the other stuff like hot/cold pipe, wastegate, bov, etc.
I would like to be around 1000 rwhp? I already have on the car a turbo 400 a ford 9in with the lq9 block. Idk if it makes a difference but also have a ported 102 set up. I do drag race it at the track around 3-4 times a year and mess with a lot of local street racers. Again thanks for the help!
Yeah i would definitely go with the gt91. It will easily be capable of 1k rwhp and leave room to grow if you want. I think with your combo it'll spool like a 70mm on a stock 5.3 lol
Not trying to cut in, but why is it that everyone is telling me to keep comp ratio around 9.5 for my turbo build? I'll be running e85 also.
Nitto 99, if you want a turbo kit with the hot and cold piping, downpipe, and intercooler with brackets and alt relocate bracket check out Hurron Speed.

Its just the Turbo. You will need the Hot and Cold Side, as well as the Blow Off Valve(s) and Wastegate(s). Yes you should run an Intercooler, The Chiseled Performance 1300HP Unit would be nice, if you don't have the coin an eBay 31x12x4" would work.
I thought the same thing about the comp but someone local told me that I could run a turbo with my set up. So that's why I had to ask you guys if that was true. So now I'm happy happy!
