I would do twin Gen II Pro Mod 88mm Turbochargers, 10.5:1 Compression, possible more if M1 or M5 is in your future. Hellfire Rings. Better get some work done to that LSX block, guys have had issues at 1800hp+. Diamond Billet Pistons would be my choice.

Kurt Urban, Billy Briggs. Those are the big names for hitting that horsepower mark. Hopefully one of them will chime in here.

Best bet is to get off of here, and call them on the phone. I'm sure that at a level like 2,000hp, there's plenty of trade secrets that each builder is doing to get a small block to live at those levels, of which, I'm guessing they don't want to publish all over the internet.

Call Billy Briggs. He is working on our 2K+ Hp setup now. He built Tom Kemp's beast motor and has turned out a few F1 based 1500-1800 Hp setups for us. We have had excelent experiance with him.

I highly doubt they will give you trade secrets, you may get solid advice, but that's about it.

The kind on money you are about to spin i would call LME when i had my turbo engine built they were the only ones that would talk to me about my build and goal. Heck i called several big name shops for advice and they did not give me the time of day,so i just figured if i had a issue with their product they really would not give me the time of day!!! LME invited me to there shop for my engine first start and complete break in and all i can say is those guys know what they are doing.PM me your email and i will send you pictures and film of my build on dyno.
