396ci Forged LT1 Hey guys, so just trying to get a ballpark guess from everyone.. Lets figure some basics right now..
396ci LT1
Scat and Callies forged internals
9:1 or 9.5:1 compression
Dished pistons
Trick Flow heads
Single Plane (or something else close to it)
88mm turbo
Lets say 30lbs of boost... How much hp do you think it would make?

I'll say this now: I am not building this lol, it was just a random thought that crossed my mind. I'd rather not run a 383.. It'll probably be 392-396 range.. more than likely a 76mm.

Eh, just seems like every LT turbo guy has a 383! Lol, just trying to be a bit different with this build and see what I can accomplish.

Well yeah, it's not weakening the block as much with the thinner cylinder walls. Lol. My main goal, LS or LT, is to get the car into the 4's. LS would get me there a lot quicker, I know that, but I'm also trying to figure out what it would take with an LT. I'm not sure how Stefan has managed to go 4's with a big ProCharger and a 402ci LT lol.
No. I really don't think you can.
Any 75mm turbine will be screaming well before 30psi on a 396ci motor with halfway decent heads. You will be fighting scorching EGTs and more than likely melted heads.
But hey, we can all make pipe dreams on LS1tech.

No I just came to LS1Tech cause I got tired of know it alls on LTXTech, including yourself, and was originally, and still am, planning to put a turbo LS in the car. I do not want, nor do I need your help. I asked for the thoughts on it, not whether or not I can do it.
And you got thoughts on it... completely ludicrous.
Cut the boost in half, smaller turbo, and destroke it if you want to enjoy a moneypit of a motor for more than a few dyno pulls.

usually I get called a troll on here.
I don't think I have ever even heard of this idea before on LTXtech...?
