lol - yes life ain't easy getting parts A G-Force T-56 will handle it as the Lexus V8 will not make the torque - but converting it to AWD will be the trick. G-Force have a synchro version for 1000hp and 800lb/ft for the Viper TT's. Don't expect 100,000 miles from it - but it should last quiet...

I replied to this yesterday but the site went down - or at least my connection to it did and I lost it... so here's the shorthand version: 350rwhp + 30psi should get you there with a very efficient system and 2 biggish turbo's. You want cfm - so go to the bigger side rather than the smaller...

I'd like to add - a real injection set up like SNows or Aquamist is a good investment if tuned right. I've run 9:1 at 18psi on pump gas with 24 degrees timing doing that... warning. if you safe tune on water you will get little results. To really see the big gains the engine will not run...

The confusion was because the original post was not clear if the water was to go INSIDE the intercooler or spray the core on the OUTSIDE. The comments have been right on - don't do it on the inside with a windscreen washer - it is a bad idea period. Can't hurt anything by doing it on the...

Lex - champion. Thanks!! I take it the 4.3 and early 4 liter quad cam engines are the same externally?

Chris ok - so you are saying the motor is square and 700mm is accurate... for us older farts that's about 28"x 28" x 28". Not as wide as I expected but taller. thanks.

I strongly suspect most *** and European quad cam V8's are wider and take up more engine bay than most "big block" V8's - and many are heavier too compared to an aftermarket aluminium big block. They will be slightly shorter (better for hood clearance) but have a higher center of gravity than...

700 cube isn't very useful - no offense Geeze guys - this is basic info and I can't find it on the site... please help if I've been a dumbass and missed it... for each quad cam variant the vital stats would be very useful as follows: total width (excluding exhaust manifolds) total...

Yes - useful as a guide. In practice few turbo cars and even fewer blower cars achieve that, while a good turbo system can better it - quite comfortably. the formula is simply boost + atmospheric = X. The X divided by atmospheric = multiplier of base HP. i.e. 14.7psi boost + 14.7...

Cavoretto - what you say is conventional wisdom and it works.... but the bit about good headers not being as good on turbos is wrong... sorry. How about an extra 48rwhp even on a small engine like a 1.8 liter Honda at around 300rwhp? That is the difference between a typical short fast...

yes - you have to hate it when that happens... but having driven well over 500,000 miles on turbos cars - I still think they are the way to go. I have a buddy who has had 40,000 miles on his 800hp supercharged Viper - but he does have to replace the belt every now and again and tighten it if...

If I tell you this - promise not to tell anyone? lol Equal length headers into true merge (like Burns $400+US) collectors are good for around 20% power improvement over conventional turbo headers.... this is one area you'll be hard pressed to find 1 turbo system tuner in 10 that will know...

Hi - I'm new here - but I'm impressed with the work Chris... great job and I hope it works out as well as you hope. re some comments made: yes you can run 60psi on Methanol without intercooling. We did it and ran 6's at over 200mph in Pro Mod on a PSI blower. re bigger injectors vs...
