For the time being, 550-600rwhp is a good spot to end up for a year or two? seems reasonable from what I've been reading.
I will absolutely be building the block at some point. Being a Supra guy who never had to touch a bottom end until 700+hp, this one stings a bit. But yes, I will be doing rods/pistons/cam, etc in the next year or two.
For now, lets just assume that edelbrock blower is showing up and the car is a stock 19 SS 1LE for now.

So, take @RobZL1 up on his offer for LT4 HPFP and Injectors. Add a JMS voltage booster to the 1LE in-tank low pressure pump. Swap out the plugs for some Brisk colder plugs from Griffin Motorsports. That’ll let you run 550-570 WHP on 93 octane with good results, since the Eddie 2650 cooling is better than a stock LT4 blower.
Once you build the bottom end, you’ll need to drop the compression to keep running 93 octane and yet make more power by spinning the blower harder. I was able to make around 825-850 WHP on 93 octane with compression closer to 10:1. I’d usually run a little Boostane to help keep things safer since 93 sucks lol. I eventually got a big fuel system and made so much more power on E.
Hope that helps.
