How "EASY" is 800hp N/A LS build?
I'd erase this thread and start a new one with the specs list and the basic need for 800. This thread is trashed! Believe Me..I've had over .......threads trashed because of indifference. But it's cool if some don't like facts!
You got to much going on...you list your own build on someone's else's thread...come on Rup!
#1 Cam is a pussycat's cam...Lift my friend .725 to .800! I gave you a cam duration reference. ..

U could call Mast and make a friend in Darin or clean it up with another thread or just send me your info/spec's in a pm and I'd copy it and text it to Darin?
Your choice?
Ramair ? I hear crickets coming from u 😁
There's a difference between a Professional who does it for a living Vs a group who are good people yet still civilian builders. I deal with the 1st part of the statement... There's no doubt when done this way vs Here say from a forum of civilian builders.

Cam is your #1 thing then you'd need to actually see if the intake runner has enough cross section and getting the taper correct. I just sent Bortous a PM, ask him does this sound correct from what's read in the pm from a professional.
Just between me and u B....who loves u baby ...Kojack.

I relay n channel alot of info from here to my builder. He may not be an engine masters winner, but he knows ls platforms. He spent years working at Cartek, n still knows people in the business. Including Cary (ETP) from the old days prior to Mast. Heis a good friend of mine since doing two motors(boosted ls2, and my RHS427). He talks me out of 90% of my thoughts, as he says "your getting into racecar territory". Ever try throwing down 7500rpms in town or on the highway with over 700hp on tap in a 3200lb. car? He said its scary. My car will never see the track, EVER. Street tires for life! Built it for my own reasons...bcuz i can, n dont mind spending money when i want to. Did i need an RHS block-No, did I need a $5500 intake-No, did i need such a massive wilwood set up-No, did i need such a robust ford 9"-No, did I need a jakes stg4 4l80e with transbrake-No, did i need to run holley dominator for this NA build-No. But screw it-YOLO. BILLS are paid, money in the bank, time for some fun. Please leave me alone about any money concerns people. Now that thats all outta the way, lets get to brass tax. Aftr speaking with my friend/builder, he s advising me if i want or need to go solid roller, id have to pull the motor n bush the block for the lifters. Obviously a few other things in the top end will change. But i can re use my Jesel shaft mount rockers which werent cheap either. Honestly, our originally plan was talldeck RHS460ci, mast 305 heads, and a killer solid roller set up. Still using this intake bcuz i like it!!! It woulda been approx another 8k more n prolly another 100hp. In the end, he beggd me to go drive in a 600hp NA car first n see if i liked it. Doesnt mean we arent upgrading later on anyways.

He used the fast 102 intake with long runners.
Made 380rwkw but the torque production was insane.
At any rpm it was just so strong.
Still spinning the tyres above 70mph.
Cam was a 252/264 .680 .680 114lsa +4.
Nothing too crazy.

You will more likely end up closer to 600 rwhp NA. That is more going sideways on the interstate at 80 in third. Ask how I know.... have to run Hoosier QTP full time.
. I think getting it running as you have it is a great idea and see just what it feels like to have a big cube na motor that instantly comes alive is like.
the tq you will have with that motor and that intake is going to be insane in the streets. On street tires is just taking that to another level.
smokey im not hating brother, just seemed ironic for you to want to clean up a thread man. You post good stuff but you repeat it in 100 different ways and threads is all .

... And you need to get with Straub for cam'ing He did Cdubbzz cam. Your runner is going to Need a special cam with a runner @ over 12 inches length. Chris Straub call needed .... I know the advertised duration, but that's for a 4500 * 5 inch runner CID intake. Around what I've said may times for 800. Your going to need more. ...cam to fill the runner just as much..Call Chris needed, again you'll need more compression also with the longer runner length to help. Also the Diameter of the intake runner @ the plenum & head face is needed??? Just doing the math or what PipeMax does....You've got to know the inlet and exit diameter of the runner to even know if it can supply the demand. We know the length @ 12.5 inches not including the head runner length to the back of the valve....
