Lq4 build 800 hp help?
Here's a good example:
427" LS3 Engine Dyno Results
Build a good, solid 408 to get to 600 and change, then hit it with a 200 shot.
IMO, 800 all motor is not realistic. Kind of the "magic" specific horsepower number you can achieve (with serious attention to detail) is 100 hp/liter. So you need at least an 8-L engine - 488 cubes - to have a shot at it

Oh Christ, that 100hp/liter sh*t is all those hon-duh girls have to brag about. Nevermind the fact that their 100hp/liter motors still can't outsew my grandma's viking.
But yeah, without a NASCAR level engine build, you probably aren't going to achieve 800 naturally aspirated horsepower with an lq4 408... Sorry.

I agree a 408 won't cut it; however 800 HP N/A has been done, and surpassed by a LOT (1029HP 440 n/a LSX) 2.3 HP per CI or 142 HP per liter:

Don't tell honda S2000 owners about this 100HP per liter "magic" HP limit. So, all I was really saying was 408 ain't gonna do it, and a 408 is 6.7 L, so figure a 408 will get you into the mid 600-range and make up the rest with Nitrous.

I just read through your build and that's very impressive! But why did it only make, what was it, 630's to the tire? Just figure it would be closer to 680-700whp.
