circle track 525 hp question
 

does chevy dyno this engines underload to get rwhp or is it flywheel hp?

All their numbers for crates are via flywheel, what would your plans for this thing be?

my 1986 Trans am

specs? circle track motors usually run at specific rpm ranges and may not be great on the street.

You can pick up a gen 1 block that will make that power with ease for a LOT less money, and it'll drop in a lot easier and you can still have a carbed car

only reason i was thinkin it was i no of one cheap and you mean genIII/V blocks?

btw there are no specs.

dude that is an $8900 engine and you still need all the accompanying parts.

well i want about 450rwhp on a carb ls motor so u guys got any better ideas?

is money an object?

no not really

Buy a cheap 5.3, throw a carb intake on, run a carb, get ****** mpg and enjoy having a ****** carb on a great efi motor. #success..?

you're 18 and have no budget concerns? nice.

why bother with LS and a carb? if you want to run carb why not do heads & cam on that 350/290hp you sig listed?

ls?

your sig also says t56 but i remember you having issues with a th350. is your info up to date?

do i look like i care about gas mileage? n nothing sounds better then a nice cam n a carb everyone has there choices n i like carb alot of ppl like efi thats there choice

i just kinda blew up that motor the other day... and i have a budget its all not gonna get done right away

$$ wise you'll probably be far ahead with a pull out 6.0 and go from there. iron block engines are not that expensive.

So iron block 6.0 out of a truck hmm i got a set of 6.0 heads laying around they worth machine work or should i juat get after market?

6.0 or 6.2 LS motors are the way to go - get one out of a wrecked truck or car.

Keep in mind that you can get 530 to 570 streetable HP out of those motors with just a cam, heads (sometimes stock ported), and tuning.

You will need a totally new exhaust, upgraded fuel system, electronics, and other items to make that work right.

Carb is counterproductive on a car with limitless EFI tuning capability...

lq4 iron block 400$
stroker kit 3500$
moroso windage tray with nozzles 500ish
custom turbo kit 2000$
intercooler 700$
valve train
and a carb setup with good cam and you got yourself an accident awaiting to happen.

if i had no limit thats the way id go but fi

^thats my wishlist too if anything spares lol.

Ok so iron block 6.0 i can get one for 200$ its a long block fuel systems easy to get now it comes down to the harness computer and intake n all that fuel ignition **** i dont raeally like lol. Marry it to a t-56 transmission. My exhaust i no ill need new headers but i have a brand new magnaflow cat back on her. So to start ill get the 6.0 heads worked cam i have no idea what to get. Ill most like put this motor in carb first becauae i have the carb conversion kit( got whole thing at swap meet for 50 buchs). Lastly if im going to be running an iron block fuel injected this motors gonna get super charged,

umm if money is not object just go but a new zr1

supercharger!?

supercharged is for babies

turbo for more cockpit heat in the winter

Cockpit heat?

There is so much fail in this thread my head feels like its gonna explode.

OP if that car in ur avatar is the car for this motor in question just buy an ls 4th gen and build it

I letting the thread go anyway it wants mite as well explore every option n im building this car not buying a new one. This isnt my only vehicle its just the one i actually put money into.
