Supercharged or Turbo LQ4 for my Nova Guys,
I'm trying? to decide on how to spend the rest of my money the most wisely. I have an LQ4 motor with 317 heads. I am debating what to do with the motor but I will base this somewhat on my power adder decision. Will run the heads and stock block just deciding whether to do bottom end work such as rods, pistons, and main studs with factory crank or maybe just pistons and rod bolts. I have the later model floating pin rods in this motor. The setup is going into a 1970 Nova with split mono leafs, mini tubed, with a narrowed 9" ford rear, putting a built 4l80E in the car. Going to run a Holley Dominator ECU with water/meth injection. Dual 400LPH pumps etc not worried about fuel. I am currently running a 355ci gen1 motor with a vortech v3 in the car, through E85 carb setup, which I have been happy with but not satisfied with. Im going for much bigger numbers this time around with better manners for this build. I have a few options, budget is not the most concerning given what I am considering. I want to build it once and have it reliable. I will sneak up easy on the tune and big HP and low ET number. I have the V3 from my current setup, but from my research it appears this is really only good to about 700 to 725 RWHP if everything is right. I was considering the BW 171702 turbo as a single turbo setup or a Vortech YSI or one of the Procharger F1 varieties. I could buy the turbo, piping and waste gate for less than vortech wants for a mounting kit to make the V3 fit as their universal LSX setup, the procharger is probably the priciest option but just looking for thoughts. 1000rwhp on pump gas is the minimum goal anything extra is a bonus....
