All, I've been thinking about this or a big cube stroker for a while... and I just want a car that drives closer to stock and still makes big power.

So here is my plan... with some questions. Comments/critiques welcome.

-ATI 1TE100-SCI D-1SC Supercharger Kit from Bob@Brutespeed with Twin 4.5 Intercoolers (Don't want to hack up my front clip)
-Aster Bracket
-Reuse my LS1 Block
-K1 Forged 3.622 Stroke with LME Billet Reluctor (would this be better than a GM crank or waste of money?)
-Compstar 6.125" Forged Rods
-Wiseco 3.903" Forged Pistons with 11cc Dish (~9.6:1 CR)
-Clevite H-Series Bearings
-ARP Main Studs
-Keep my TEA LS6 Heads (which use Hollow-stem LS3 valves) 62cc Chambers and PAC 1904 Springs
-GM LS9 Head Gaskets
-BTR LS3 Supercharger Cam 227/244 .612/.595 115+5 Cam (Tooley recommended)
-ID850s Injectors, Squash Dual Pump kit with DW200 Pumps, Nasty Stage 3 Fuel Line Kit with -8AN/-6AN Lines (Nasty and Lonnies both offer similar line kits - one better than the other?)
-Alkyinjection Methanol Injection Kit with Single M15 Nozzle (single be fine? or need dual? looking at running 100% meth)
-GM 2-Bar MAP Sensor (SD Tune)
-Upgrade my CircleD 4000 to a Triple Disk 4C 3600 Stall (WOT Lockup)
-Fab 9" with 3.50 Gears (So I don't run out of gear)
-Keep my Ported FAST 102/NW 102TB, Kooks 1-7/8" Headers and 3" True Duals and most of my valvetrain/engine parts from my last build in my sig

Goal would be around 12-13psi with the twin intercoolers... so a 4" or 3.85" pulley probably with my setup? And 700rwhp or so locked through the triple disk converter?

I don't know if I'll need the Aster bracket, but belt slip is not something I want to deal with. And since I'm going to use the Twin Intercooler setup, I don't want to push much higher than 12-13psi. Plus, I think that will give me about the power I want. I could just say F it... and go with an F1, ID1000s, FMIC, and push for 900+rwhp, but my transmission won't hold that. And I really don't want to redo everything. This is more of a build off what I have done and make the car better.

Any thoughts? Should I swap out the LS3 valves for the solid stem? Exhaust is a solid stem Ferrea...

Thanks

 

Looks pretty good to me, but I really don't think you need the forged crank. If you have the money and don't mind spending it on one, then it's just some added insurance, but at the power level you'll be at, the stock crank will be fine.

 

I just worry about a Chinese forged crank being worse than stock...

 

Stick with the stock one then. How soon you going to get started on this build?

 

my 2 cents as far as meth is do 2 nozzles, the controller you mount in your car is adjustable on how much you want to spray, and ull eventually wana make more power, so might as well have 2 lines ready to go and all u gotta do is turn it up on the controller

 

Okay, excellent.

And when? Now. Just ordered the cam from BTR...

 

I would go with the Aster bracket. Thanks. Bob

 

Thanks, Bob. You've helped me a lot so far!

 

You're welcome, thanks! Bob

 

Friend bent stock crank on a 370 with a F1a and replaced it with a K1 and was able to make over 950rwhp with no issues

 

Yeah, I talked to Brian about ordering the K1 from him. It looks like a good piece with the billet reluctor. Won't have to worry with the extra pressure the supercharger puts on it.

 

Forged crank, aster bracket, dual nozzle alky kit, pump compression to 10.0:1-10.2:1 range, FMIC, ID1000s, and let it eat.

 

So it has begun... I'll be installing the BTR cam in my car this weekend. I may even pull the converter. I plan to run the stock shortblock for a while even with the D1... will probably be pretty low boost with the Methanol like 6-7lbs due to the 11.2:1 CR. But I figure it might last for a while if I keep it under 600rwhp.

 

Nice build Jake! I was just getting through your other thread when this came up. Looks like you have a great parts list. I've been waiting for your forced induction addition. I figured it wouldn't be too long with all the hints in your last thread lol.

We've got pretty similar builds now except the 383. Have you considered going that route or are you just going to do a different block if you push yours a little too hard

I went with the dual nozzle kit because the cost increase was minimal so I didn't see why not. It is one more area for possible boost leak but I haven't had any problems running 10# and my nozzles mount into a rubber elbow. I had another shop make me some custom hoses for where I wanted to mount it. I also didn't realize the pump needed to be mounted below the tank which is good info to know because I'll be redoing those custom lines now.

Did you talk to ID about the size injectors? They recommended larger than I was originally going to run. I'm just learning what's necessary for forced induction with fuel demands now though.

 

Haven't talked to ID yet. 1000s would make sense tho.

I was reading your thread today... I feel a 4L80 and an F1R in the future for me. But this is a good stepping stone.

 

Jake are you planning on E85?

 

They're customer service is great over at ID. Really helpful. I did 1300s but I'm going to have the car ready for E85 so I want to have enough injector for it. They're expensive so I don't want to have to buy twice.

I'm definitely going F1A just waiting to see how the car does with all the upgrades first and then upgrade from there. Thinking maybe super victor intake and elbow also. I was talking to one of the guys above and he was saying they been known blow apart with boost.

My 4L60 was great for the street and strip but I want the manual valve body and trans brake so TH400 it is. Going to be fun. I ended up with an ATI 9" fuel and blown converter. I think 4400 stall. Thanks for help on that choice.

 

We just finished up a 05 Vette M6 at the shop. Stock short block, studs, LS9 gaskets, BTR Jam cam, stock intake, Dynatech LT's and exhaust.

D1 w/ 16 psi, IIRC. Fore Innovations twin in tank pumps, return system, ID1000 I was seeing 70% IDC@750rwhp at 5800rpm on pump gas.

We went down a pulley size to keep the boost in check and put in ID1300's in because it was going on E85. When we originally spec'd and ordered the parts the customer wanted 650rwhp on pump. Things quickly escalated

Ended up at 800hp/700ft lbs w/ a very soft tune on E85. Customer was worried about the stock short block. If we had left the smaller pulley on it I'm pretty confident we would have touched 900 or been damn close.

 

Those are some sick numbers. I can't wait to try E85. If it's half as good as the boosted guys say it will be worth it.

 

E85 is win.
