Hi everyone.... Hope this is in the correct forum..

I need some help to choose the right combo for my intentios, i really dont know much, i have been lurking and searching arround about EFI and Twin Turbo setups..

I want to run like 25psi and produce 1200hp or more on race gas - just about to run 8s..

I have 10k for engine and so far the only thing I'm sure i need is a Dart Little M block (alu ones kinda outrun my budget).. (427 - 4.125x4.000)
Things like the proper Camshaft, Rollers, Heads and such is what really confuse me...

The turbos would be GT35/40Rs (I have contacted Phamspeed, if they can get me this turbos on their TT kit, most likely i would buy their kit)

I know you guys must hate newbies like me, but please any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED..

 

I am assuming that you are not making an LSx based setup?

Honestly I would call Kurt at W2W, they have built more 1000+rwhp setups than the other shops, at least from what ive seem.

Hope that helps,

Thank you, i have mailed them..

But anyway i would like to know, what would look nice on paper..
i have been searching but if someone knows exact threads worth of good info please post them..

 

well is it going to be a LSx motor?

If so
-lunati crank
-lunati rods
-diamond custom made pistons
-total seal rings
-clevite bearings
-all pro or AFR heads ported
-GMPP carb single plane intake
-twin T070 turbos, or one t-88
-BS3, DFI gen 7, or FAST
-good tune
-TH400
-(" rear
-Indistructable frive shaft
-good driver
etc...

 

I have been the 427 sbc route before. I had a fuel injected tall deck 18 Dart degree SBC. The motor costed $20,000! My recommendation is to find a second hand motor. They are out there, I sold mine on New Years for only $11,000!
25 lbs of boost is good for about 1500-1600 hp at the crank and is not childs play. You need the best of everything. It will cost you $20k to build a fuel injected 427. Another $6k for the turbo stuff. NO way around it.
