someone prove me wrong.. https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...2&page=1&pp=20
this the the 67 camaro that has the supra motor in it that i have been talking about..
i know that alot of people dont like this idea due the brand loyalty..besides that..
how much would it really cost to make 1000bhp(thru motor) with an LSX reliably thru a 6 speed?????
dont be biased...because i see people here breaking **** all the times and no one has even reliably made 800hp yet??

Whats the point your trying to make anyway? That the supra motor can hold more power than an lsx based motor? If so, it doesn't really matter because lsx based motor cars run the same times as supras while making a few hundred hp less.

my supra and 240 have built motors so they cost a little bit more
but i can tell you how much it cost to make 800hp to the wheels in stock supra motor (you can buy a complete supra motor with a 6 speed with all the assessories for $6k, for an auto it only cost $2500)
all the other parts below are pretty much required for any type of motor..but this is how much it will cost for a supra motor..
$4k for turbo kit
$2k for fuel system
$1.5 for fuel management
$2k for exhaust, minor electronics
for auto..$2500 for rebuilt tranny/TC that will hold 900hp reliably
for 6 speed..just a clutch

The fact of the matter is that LSX's make AWESOME street engines. They respond to bolt-ons very well, and the stock cylinder heads are some of the best any OEM has ever produced.
They DON'T, however, make very good race engines. The blocks are weak, they are prone to headgasket problems, everything none OEM (C5R Stuff) is very low production and very high cost, the oiling system sucks, and a vast majority of people in the LSX community are total squirrels.
All of this is changing a little bit with the new LSX and Warhawk pieces, but in the end I still think a conventional SBC is the way to go. But to each their own, of course.

Duy, a rich mf'er like yourself shouldn't worry so much about doing things as cheap as possible.
I sure don't worry about being a cheap *** when it comes to engines or cars, why do you?

i didnt get to where im today by doing dumb ****..i like fast cars, but just dont build one that will break me...thats the reason i have always have a fast car, i choose a car that i know will be strong and look good..i only do what is necessary to make them fast.. (i dont like old beat up cars with a SBC and lots of nitrous)
my old 240 ran mid 10s with a 4 stock cylinder with just after market pistons and rods and a turbo kit and fuel sytems..running stock tranny and everything else...my supra runs 9 using a stock rebuild tranny and stock rear end and axles..using that similar motor combo and dropped it in my 240 and it ran mid 8s with a TH350..
i would like to make my C6 run mid 10s to, but its gonna cost me an arm and a leg to get it there...for all that money i can buy me another car...
