I've already watch a steave morris video where he took my engine and put 10psi on it getting 950+HP.
Can't see what 1000 wouldn't be possible?
Not that I'd pull hairs and care at 950 lol.

That's crank hp, not rwhp. Take 150-200hp off of that number. My engine is a power adder build, the lsx454 is not designed for boost. Personally, I didn't like driving it with the party pulley on the road. I want an even bigger pulley for that than what I have.
When I'm running nitrous I'm close to 1200rwhp. That's 400 more than you can safely do with that engine

I just have to change pistons.
The rest is built for it.
Have to go from 11:1 down to 8.5-9.
That's it.
GM even states if you want to boost it, just do that.
All I want is 1000 at the crank anyway lol.
Not trying for all that
If I could get it on pump gas with ring filing, I'll do that and not even change pistons. Lol.

If it hit 950, I'd still just say I had 1000


And I was thinking yours was crank.
Didn't realize it was RWHP
Holy fork knuckles batman!

Grow a pair. Spool it. Send it like a man. You only live once. LEEROY JEEEEENNNNNKKKKINNNNSSSS.

If it's a 14b it's easy enough to change the rear.
So running a spool for now , then swapping to something different when you build a race car wouldn't be that big of a sacrifice.

You've been in the engine enough times that swapping the rear end a few times should be like a holiday lol.

Yes, swapping the carrier is a simple job, 1-2 hours tops, a couple gaskets and a couple quarts of gear oil. I've built a lot of axles, the 14 bolt is easy other than the weight of the carrier. I do have to remove the watts link to get to it, but that's not that big of a deal.
We got hit by a super cell last night, apparently there was 2" of hail in the street. I slept through it, but I've got some cleanup to do today.

 

[r3dd0g]

This is from last night.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Should be a fun one, coming in today as well.

 

[r3dd0g]

Well, the spool isn't going to ship out today, so unless I pay a bunch of money for next day air we're not going racing Friday. There's another event on the 6th so we'll aim for that one.

Would it hurt to make a few more runs on the trutrac?

Would it hurt to make a few more runs on the trutrac?

I don't think I want to do that, it's already damaged. If it comes apart on the big end I'm going into a wall at 120mph. I may clean it up a bit and throw it back in so I can use the truck to get materials to fix my wall this weekend.

 

[r3dd0g]

I also have a G80 that I could throw in. That would probably be better, but not for the strip.
