I am building a procharged ls1. I want to be between 600-700 rwhp. Will this be achievable with this setup?

Stock ls1 , 317 heads, arp head studs, 80lb injectors, upgraded fuel pump, d1sc procharger with 3.5 " twin intercoolers, tick performance stage 2 blower cam, ls6 intake, 4l80e , 3.89 rear end gears (ford 9") thinking about tuning for e85. Not sure how much boost. And still want to be able to drive around town at low speeds comfortably. Any opinions?

 

Also haven't for sure decided on e85 or 91 with meth

 

No comments?

 

If E85 is easy to get at the pumps I would go with it, very forgiving fuel for forced induction. On a 347 you'll need to be in the 12+ psi range to hit that hp goal. I would get a dual in-tank fuel pump right from the start, and if you go E85 duals would me a must. If you don't have your procharger kit yet I would pass on the 3.5 coolers and go with a front mount setup, your goals can be met on the 3.5's but is way out of efficiency. You may also want to contact Martin at tick to have a cam spec'd to get a better street driver, it won't cost any more than their shelf cam.

Stock short block ?

 

Yes I do already have the pro charger setup. I if it would be worth getting a new system with front mount cooler I could sell this one. The bottom end will be stock, may install arp rod bolts. I did wonder about the tick performance cam, i saw a video of the blower stage 1 and it even seems to lopy for me at an idle. I don't want to much lope at idle.

 

Sell your twins and upgrade to a FMIC i'm glad I did hell I don't even have my car yet it's in the shop but from what all I have read and talking to people your better off with a FMIC. Your going to have to upgrade your fuel system and run some meth for sure to get close to 700 rwhp.

 

Agree^^^ I would sell the twins and the plumbing to go with it, go front mount. I don't think the tick blower cam your looking at is a bad choice, I would just give martin a call and go over your goals and get his recommendation.

What procharger did you get ? What bypass valve with your kit ?

 

It is a d1sc procharger, bypass valve is small black one. Guessing it's not upgraded.

 

The small pro flo will work but you will want to upgrade to the big red bypass at some point. Also the D1 will hit your goals with a little room to grow.

 

thanks!

 

i assume you have an 8 rib setup with an aster or sdce bracket ?

 

8 rib... not sure which bracket

 

Just ordered a tick performance stage 1 v2 blower cam ! Excited to see how it sounds
