1,000 hp shortblock

Heck yeah. Sounds like fun.

Maybe crown will chime in, but IIRC he's using H-beams on his Rspec build

Why did we wait for the 5.0s to come around before we started building all these 1000rwhp 3vs?

 

[JoshK]

Not sure, but there seems to be an army forming.

Look at the 2v. Twisted wedge didn't come out with their ridiculous high flowing 2v heads and intake setup till the 3v had been out for 2 years. Now there are 800-1000rwhp 2v builds out there. Such is the madness! lol

 

[JoshK]

Well the bright side is my build will probably take long enough for you guys to get that intake done now lol

 

[JeremyH]

lol

Haha, or maybe there will be a 5v out soon... Lol

I have pushed H-beam manley rods to 1,000+RWHP and so have several others I know. RPM and tune are more critical to be controlled. A Turbo car will let rods live with more HP than NOS or Blower will.
I would O-ring the block to avoid relying on those POS Cometic gaskets holding on their own.
9310 alloy wrist pins and coating on tops and ring grooves Like Wiseco Armour Coatin or at least a Hard anodized like Diamond.

I've owned and built a few Procharged cars in the 600-700 hp range and they were monsters on the street but have lost to big block Chevy cars with nitrous. I've never built a turbo car but I'm looking forward to it. I like racing in the Street National events. Its not that much more going from single turbo to twin, so I will dial back the boost on the street and when I need the power it will be there. The car is paid for so its time to have some fun with it.
