im thinking of getting a lsx 427 but im thinking of running the max bore and having a shorter stroke than most what are some of the problems iu may encounter with this

why decrease future ability,4.125 bore 4.00 stroke will get you there with room to spare.

bay_kid26

well im looking for a higher rev

bay_kid26

how much power r u making with your lsx and whats your rev limit

Shawn @ VA Speed

with the correct parts you can rev a 4'' stroke engine to 9000rpms,i know because i do it quite often,there is no sense in overboring the block

bay_kid26

would these correct parts cost a shitload though because i have a pretty high spending budget but i dont wanna be just throwing tons of money in

Shawn @ VA Speed

iTrader: (3)

all depends on what you are doing with it,fi,n/a how much hp,your valvetrain is where you need to spend the money for high rpms

bay_kid26

well im shooting for 725 plus horsepower and i plan on having it n/a

May want to look in the dyno section because I have yet to see that out of na 427. I might of missed one though. Good luck hope all works out.

You'll be half way to the moon by the time you get done spinning a 427 to a high enough RPM to generate 725+ HP. Solid roller? Check. Some sort of sheet metal intake? Check. Barely enough money left over for PB&J? Double check.

bay_kid26

well ive been saving a ton of money for awhile and bought my 02 camaro as a salvage and ive already planned on a sheetmetal intake as well solid roller but for awhile ive been debating on sacrificing higher rpms or more stroke and lower rpms but more power

Shawn @ VA Speed

iTrader: (3)

you will need to spin it to about 8000rpms for that,you could do it with an eagle crank but you would probably be better with a lunati or callies,put on some nice billet rods and lightweight custom pistons and the bottom end will be fine,for the top end 725 wont be that hard,probably some etp 265's with a nice solid roller and a jesel setup,put on the sheet metal intake and you will be there,but i would keep the 4'' stroke unless you have a car that weighs 2500lbs-torque is still what gets the job done

The car would be a track car only with **** for low end torque. It would not be fun on the street at all. If that is what you are building have at it. I really feel you could do better going a different route imo.

Looks like you're local. when you get it running we should have a friendly race at the track. my 12k motor vs your how ever too many thousands you end up spending. lol

700 should not be a problem for me........

At the wheels it will be. I really hope you prove us all wrong though. That way I know there is better setups out there for NA cars.

Agreed 1 million % N/A! Although I believe "supersub" is also running a Maggie...

EDIT: Forgot to qualify that, thanks formula17!

I think supersub has a blower so 700 wouldnt be too hard for him.

hey jermz how much are you making to the wheel
