All the great info available on LS1tech.com I will update as we go. Its so close I can taste it!!!

Here's the link for the pics

Looks great !!!!

Good luck getting it finished up, my build won't be far behind....

 

I had it running with the stock bottom end and just the hot side connected with no wastegate. Pulled it out ,built the motor put it back in the car in less than a month! Just the details and plumbing left.

 

host the pics on photbucket or the like so we can see them bigger hard to see them.

 

DAMN! that's insane. how much were all the parts? what kind of numbers are you lookin at getting?

 

Hoping for 1000 rwhp at 18 lbs. or less. As far as cost... I'd rather not... I have a box full of receipts...

 

Seriously, why do you need to ask about how much it cost??? All you need to know is turbo's cost a lot of money...but they are worth it!!!

 

Just a hint... the street price on those headers would be $3000. The turbo $1500. Wastegate $500. Intercooler $1000. etc....

 

those headers look nice

 

WOW Awesome looking setup man good luck with the rest of the build.

 

I might be wrong but I don't think 2 walboro 255 will supply the motor the fuel it's going to need....your build is alot like mine and I have a big *** pump and converted to return style fuel system....just a thought.....good luck with the build it's going to make alot of power....

 

I am still up in the air on the 2 pumps. When I talked with Nasty performance, they said they have had as much as 930 hp to the wheels with the double pumper, and it wasn't running out fuel. I haven't bought the pumps yet though. I wanted to use the feature built into the BS3 to activate the second pump under load via TPS. I am open to ideas though.

 

Yea i dont think those pumps are gonna keep up if you run e85. Cause you know that e85 takes like 10-15% more fuel.

 

Very nice build, should turn out bad *** bro!

 

looks absolutely crazy....

I would hate to have to do plugs or anything valvetrain related

 

let me know how it turns out, I'd like to at least compare dyno graphs with you concerning our different A/R Housings. What are you doing with the intake valve seated spring pressure? I've been in the market for a 1.08 for a while now, I just cannot justify it as the car is in all fairness just a street car.

Other than the compression ratio our builds are very similar.

 

I've made 867rwhp with a GT47-88 1.08, 8:1 348ci, 25psi, a/a, and run two Bosch external fuel pumps and 96 lb injectors.

 

Yeah the E85 throws a wrench in it. I think I will look into something a little different on the pump. Anyone had any luck with the Magnafuel stuff. Or dare I ask Aereomotive pumps???

 

The springs are the new Extreme Patriot dual springs. Rich at WCCH set them up for me, I can't remember the numbers on the pressure. Maybe he can chime in?

 

The pics can now be seen in detail at this photobucket link

If I can figure out how to upload video from my phone, I have some footage of it running with the stock short block/LQ9 heads.
