We are working with a customer on that as well. Our new FI66's using ETT wheels will be a nice setup and the customer is hoping for over 1600hp and quick spool.

Me personally, I not really impressed with the stuff NRE builds. First of all I notice alot of the parts he uses are not the top of the line. Im not saying there not good, just not the very best. For $50K or $60K that SOB better have billet this Billet that, Alum blocks. If you bought all the stuff he has in them motors and add it up, you wont get to half what he charges.
By the way, and what he's chargin for headers is insane too. Ive bought the same materials he uses, and more of it. and it didnt come to 1/2 what he charges.

I never said ANY of the parts he uses are JUNK. However I can see several parts that to me seem a little suspect for the money.
And am merely pointing out the fact the same or better can be built for ALOT less than what he charges!!!
I can build two of these for what he charges for one of his. http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2375...dy?vhost=rides
By the way, dont get so uptite! Its just one persons opinion.
Also, whats he has in the LSX stuff to me is better than whats in his other motors.

Look at the prices for LPE stuff, double what NRE charges for a fraction of the power, just as another example of how some shops charge hilarious prices for things.
I think he did like 130 dyno pulls with his 408ci TT (1,500 hp) engine, tore it down and it looked like it had never run. So he does build rock solid stuff.

Your right people are Paying for the name. I believe Kenny Duttwieler is doing LSX stuff too.
Basically my point was Way too much money.
If you have a good builder. Use him and use the best parts you can, in the long run you'll be happy.

Probably a dumb question...but.....
Can the down-pipe be opened while doing a run like an N/A engine does with open headers....for more power?
If so, can a cut-out be used?

No, I woundnt open up the DP, but you can put a cutout on there if you would like. I can install one at the time I make the DP if you decide to order one. Depending what your setup will be you will have a change in boost pressure with the cut out open I would imagine.
Thanks Joel
Thanks Joel
So, you're saying you wouldn't open it up but you would put a cut-out on it so I can open it up?????????? What do you mean?
I have it on my things-to-do-list for tomorrow...to call you and ask about what cubic inches my builder should do with my LSX for this set-up. He told me to ask you. If you want to tell me here....what would you use for ci and the S91? I planned to use a sheet metal intake. What heads and cam would you recommend?
Or I'll call ya tomorrow.
Thanks.
