First of all, i'm pretty sure theres a thread or more with this info but i just cant find any specific thread with the info.

Where can i get info on best block, heads, cams, piston, rods, valves, etc... combination for turbo boost for a pure race aplication somewhere 1500WHP? I dont want a final recipie, i want a big info source to make my own desition.

I did search as much as i could.

Best regards and happy new year!

 

If only there was a list of that stuff available somewhere.

If there was a one-stop source that gave exact details of what is needed for any given setup presented in simple list form, forums like this would be largely irrelevant.

 

Your best bet would be to ask your engine builder and tuner what they prefer to meet your goals and go from there as they will be the ones that have to deal with your decisions.

Do you have any current personal preferences besides just 1500hp? Desired engine size, rpm, turbo size, desired ET/MPH, fuel, list goes on...

 

Thanks for you answer SLOW SEDAN.

Other than 1300-1500hp, i'd like to use pump gas (93 octane) and maybe using alcohol injection. Engine size, cam, heads, valves, turbo size, etc... is what i'd like to gather some info about. I know there are lots of possible combinations and thats why id loke to read more on other setups. I dont want a magical answer, i know there isn't one, i just want to read as much as possible and make my own choice.

Best Regards.

 

Based on fuel choice and whp goal, your in BBC territory. Eng builder should be able to tell what and how much $$$ to meet goal.

 

93 octane at 1500 HP is going to require a lot of cubic inches.
Why 93 octane for a "Pure race application"?

If it is race only and nothing else, run methanol.

 

Agree that very few "race only" applications rely on 93 pump gas. I would reassess that decision as it will determine a lot of factors for your build, E85 is cheaper then pump gas and works wonders in a FI car.

Have you already purchased anything or have any existing parts you plan to use in regards to this build or this a pure fresh start? Do you have any class rules to follow in this race application? What is the budget? Budget alone defines the majority of what level of parts you can use. When you say "BEST" you better open that piggy bank wide open!

 

Methanol is a choice too. Sorry for not mention it.

Unfortunately theres no e85 in my country. No, i haven't bought anything yet. I'm in a first stage of gathering info. I haven't decided a budget yet and thats why i need some info first. LOL, maybe best was to vague... I meant best bang for the buck would be more precise.

Best regards.

 

Methanol puts you back in LS territory and takes away the cubic inches requirement.

 

Ya even if you don't have e85 or methanol, you can make gobs of power on VP import, not sure where you are or the availability of fuels.

Bang for the buck I'd probably lean towards an LSX 388, pretty wide range of how fancy you can build it.

You leaning towards single or twin turbo? What transmission is this setup gonna be in front of?

 

In fact i'm not in the states.. Im in Chile (south america) but of course all parts will come from USA. VP fuels are also hard to get here so pure methanol is an easier choice. For transmission i love the 2 speed powerglides and for turbo setup i prefer single.

I really dont want to take too much of your time thats why i ask for a thread or webpage where i can get more info.
Regards.

 

simply look up some of the fast builds on here and copy them. e85 (ethanol) is a lot easier to run than methanol (very corrosive) in a car.

here is one that will meet your goals and he starts out with a mellower setup.... then goes big time!

Spend the entire weekend on here and READ other people's builds. You need a budget as that determines everything. You can run low 8 second quarter mile using mostly stock parts and a Chinese turbo. The price to make 1000rwhp..... is waaaaaay less than trying to make 1300rwhp.

 

Tall deck LSR/LSX 440ci with twins would be easiest. Buddy cracked 1310 with an LSR yesterday, 427ci. On E98 and some more timing, he should be at his goal of 1500rwhp.

 

Thanks. I will read all of it.
thats good info. Thank all of you.

 

What fuel for 1310?

 

Pump E85.

 

With pump 93, you think you might get to 800-850whp?

 

I did 900 on a 5.3 with 93 and water/meth.
800 would have been easy on 93 alone with the 5.3.

 

Blow through or injected? How were you monitoring detonation?
