Miami's getting crazy... Well, crazier.

Yup, and when they put the pedal down they don't spin all over the place like people think, they hook and go.

I believe the biggest they can fit is like a GT 28 or something. There was a post here about that the turbos are good for about 700 rear wheel.
InconBandit runs a high 9 in his convertible with that incon kit. Thing is you can't find that kit complete anymore.

His engine, complete with everything was built for $30,000. So where is the rest of the $90,000 going. My car is already set up with everything except the engine. My tranny is being built by these guys.
All I need is an engine with the trubo stuff to go with it.

I guess the point got lost with people like you who say things can't be done. I sure hope your type fizzels away faster than you multiply. If you don't think it can be done and you think is all a waste, why are you coming back in here?

People who think that Quicken thinks most people are dumb here...
Would be the ones I'd think woudn't want to be posting in this thread, maybe?
I think it's crazy... and doable, it's just that the sepcifics of the combo narrow the options down and raise the stakes both economically and in terms of engineering... It's gotta come out right the first time (unless Quicken is a clandestine Lotto jackpot winner
)... And that means listening to everything EVEN IF you have most figured out already... from ALL sources, good bad large small online firsthand testimonial expert opinion average driver sentiment WHATEVER! Even then maybe you didn't find out enough or ask enough...

LT1homer since you aren't really giving any advice/suggestions or anything positive to this thread how bout you stay the hell out of it?
W2W is not the only shop that can make race cars and engines..And BTW they can speak for themselves too. He's allowed to keep asking for opinions especially since it will cost A LOT of money to do this.

I'm sure two 70's can fit with an INCON STYLE kit, maybe not specifically with the manufactured Incon kit people have... Different manifolds... higher up... Why not?

Whatever...go have fun in your 1500 rwhp car that will get smoked by my car with less than half the hp in a REAL race...aka drag race...have never seen 'from a roll' racing organization but I guess when there's no rules anyone can be king...I want to have the fastest car from 50 mph to 100 mph...you can have the fastest from 51-101...then we are both kings and can go brag about the fact that we spent a lot of money to accomplish nothing but the praise of other ricers when we post our gay roll races on every message board...
That's my last post...feel free to PM me if I can help make myself clearer on MY opinion...since that is what they thread was asking for, right? Or was it only for opinions that agreed with the author? Maybe make a note of that next time...

The problem is that the LSX platform is not like small block Fords, small block Chevys, or modular Fords.
There is a learning curve when making big power with these motors. There are only a handful of shops that have made over 1200rwhp consistently without breaking stuff pass after pass. W2W, Lingenfelter, and Stenod are the ones that come to mind. The fast LS1 cars come from these shops.
I can recommend W2W because I have personal experience with them. They put together the motor that is in the car now, and they will be doing the All Pro heads and solid roller conversion when this season is over. Expensive...yes, but totally worth it. Stenod and Lingenfelter both have great reputations, I just haven't dealt with them for anything major. The thing all of these shops share is satisfied customers.
If the shop that you are talking about has built an LSX that has made the kind of power that you are talking about consistently, then by all means use them. If dead set on using them regardless, then let them stick to what they know and retro-fit one of their proven combinations into your car.
Good luck either way.

He's talking about using the Warhawk block and/or going with a SBC. It should be interesting to see how high you can turn up the wick on a Warhawk block.
lt1homer 1000 plus hp cars do not hook on the street from a dig that's why they gotta do roll races. I'm sure even you know that. Oh and these cars take it up to 160-180mph not 100.. And by the way why do you care so much what he intends to do with his car, its his money..Will your LT1 car run 7's in the 1/4 mile cause that is what a 1500 hp car will do. Even if he spins all the way down the track he'll probably still runs 9's..
You can guarantee if I was planning on spending 35-50 grand on a motor I'd be asking LOTS and LOTS of questions.
