Default Need opinion for a tbss

Looking for around 750 rwhp in a tbss. How easy would it be with a 418 ls3 with a tvs2300. Built rpm transmission. I know the drive train eats power being a 14 bolt with 4:10 gears factory. Any ideas?

Is your tbss a 2wd or all wheel drive? What tranny is in it...4l80e? I know you mentioned it was built, just didn't know what came in them. How much power do you lose thru the drivetrain with the 14 bolt, compared to other rear ends I wonder? What do you think at least a grand at the crank will get you the 750 to the ground, depending on the drivetrain in your ride?

I figure 14 bolt, 4.10s, AWD(2WD-not as much) plus the built auto would equal to a major drivetrain loss in power

Built rpm level 7 4l70. I figure around a solid 20% drivetrain loss. Its 2wd and i might pull 4.10's out put a 3.73 gear in it. Just some ideas im toying with. i figured 900fwhp to be 720rwhp. Should be more than enough. It will be drove everyday but for only 20-30 minutes a day total. I only live 5 minutes to work.

Oh ok I was thinking conservatively (1000) with the parts that drain the most...AWD with 4.10s instead of the 2wd...I was thinkin 25% loss just to be safe to get your goal

Should be a kick *** ride none the less
