Looking for big power maybe 1000rwhp, maybe I don't know Alright, looking to change my setup a little this winter. My goal is 1000-1300whp. What would be a good motor to build for that power level, I will not have the money for an lsx yet. Will a built lq9 work? Looking at an s91 for the turbo. Need some engine ideas.

just curious, what are you planning on doing with 1300rwhp? im building a LQ motor that technically should handle that, but the most id ever run would probably be in the 800's even that is stupid fast. really. I drove a 900rwhp sandrail and its just too damn fast. haha seriously

1000 is easy and can be done "relatively" cheap. Past that and you start needing some higher priced parts to make it live.
Also, you can't exactly compare Fireball's setup to anything that will be street driven. Aluminum rods are not street friendly
His build may be "budget" compared to something like Phil's, but it isn't an off the shelf setup.
