Default I need some advice!!!

Ok now that my project is neering installation I need some advice on an Igntion system. Whats the general consensus on ignition systems, and I'm talking about for a High Ouput motor( hopefully around 1100 out of crank) force fed by a turbo and n2o!! Thanks

what turbo do you plan on using for 1100hp with an STS kit? :jester: change your plugs to atleast TR6's. Truck coils and wires are very efficient. I wouldnt change your ignition unless it gave you trouble. Which it shouldnt.

that turbo will be nearing the choke limit with half that power... dude your running a 383, look into ATLEAST an 80R like MightyMouse is running. Search around, LS1tech is absolutely awesome for information, but you gotta search and read. Check out http://www.forcedinductions.com they have a spec listing for motors and turbos... very helpful information. Good luck, and make sure you know the capability of your equipment before you dive in headfirst.

Harlan ran 6.0 coils with no problems at a very high power level, I have not seen much evidence that the msd coils are doing a lot better.

thanks, both of you!! I'll look into switching to the 6.0 coils for now... As for the Turbo, is this just another I hate STS setup comments or is there real proof that the STS kit on the t70-t76 wont be able to produce 21 psi!!?? Thanks again

I don't hate STS... it's simple, your motor running that amount of boost, will net you extremely high intake air temps and actually choke the unit. Don't expect to see much more then 700rwhp with a T70...

Oh yeah and this setup will be mostly ran on about 11-15 psi on street!! And then up the boost when i hit the track. I got low impedance 95lbs injectors...and the stand alone n2o system will have 108octane if any of this makes a difference!!

01Blackerado,
I think if you haven't bought the turbo yet I'd give Josea at forced inductions a call. I have an intercooled T70 STS type turbo set-up and he recommended the T70 for making my goal of 550-600RWHP. I really doubt it would be effecient to try and get it to make twice that amount of power, even with all the meth and nitrous. Sounds like more problems than sense to me but I just thought I'd recommend you to some one that sells and deals with this stuff every day.

Oh trust me i know I'm out to give him some competition until he can up his boost and pass me again!! After the full install the only thing he'll have on me is weight advantage and a little more cubes but I'm hoping that since I do weigh more, my turbo might spool faster considering the load! i dont know though we'll see how it goes. Anyway like I've said a million times I appreciae you guys' help, Parish has given me almost all the knowledge, regaurding this setup, that i know now...without the P-man this would still be a pipe dream!! cya
