compression for a twin turbo 427ci 6 bolt LSX build
#21
E Content of E-85
OK, a fair request.
He stated that his requirement was 12:1 and the heads where not yet received, just ordered.
I too would use a flat top piston of possible AND fit "piston oil jets" from the block main area.
The "range" of compression choices IS affected by "local" E-85, the "E" content.
That is the main reason for a direction to try and find E-95 a more regulated fuel.
I agree, it is a "bit" of stretch.

Thanks for the explanation, Lance. I agree that a more regulated/consistent fuel would be greatly beneficial to an effort such as this. And if he was using E95 for this, I would say 12:1 compression would probably be optimal, which sounds insane when considering twin turbos. Either way, definitely going to need a custom cam to keep the dynamic compression in check.
RonStoppable, those heads do look nice. This thing is going to be a freaking beast. I hope you have an adjustable suspension and the full compliment of traction goodies, because upwards of 1000+rwhp is going to roast those 275's right off the rims.

12:1 is insane.. IMO unnecessary but not my car. I see where you decided on 10.8. Much better choice. My buddy's Vette (9.5:1 427 LSX block twin precision 66/67's made 1097 on 9lbs with only 15* on E98) hell the motor can probably hold 40lbs.. a lot of power being thrown around these days.

So I got two cams specd out.. what do you guys think as far as the specs go?
240/243. .608"/.612" 114 LSA
Or
243/249. .610"/612". 114 LSA
also any recommendations for lifters? Wasn't sure if I should go with Johnson Linkbar lifters or not

Should've just made a build thread lol
a few pics of my cable drive fuel setup, all from AEI. I also have a badass nice tubular core support, Griffin radiator already has the fittings welded up for the Remote electric waterpump. Truck will also be getting 4-linked aswell haha after a lot of thinking
powdercoated the Upper HOLLEY plenum aswell 😎
