You are very welcome!

We can help with that for sure.

Before my last round of mods I was at 568 with almost the same mods as arpad. Only difference, i was on the stock throttle body but i did have headers.

Thanks for the numbers, I dont really have any desire to go above 700whp for a few reasons. One of which is getting into fuel mods, which is why I wasn't really looking at the 2650. With stock power it can already get kinda crazy.

Looking for a little more punch in 3rd and up is mainly my focus, as well as making the engine run cooler and more efficient. I think an extra 100-150 whp will definitely suffice.
Thanks again guys

One more thing, boost on my 2300 is about 7.5 psi for this much power, practically ZL1 power with 2 to 2.5 psi less. A lot of headroom left in the blower and less heat than a ZL1, but of course the next step would be headers, LT4 fuel system, cam etc., which I'm not sure is worth it, at least not here in NJ with total congestion 90% of the time and for the couple passes per year I do on the dragstrip.

The 2300 is a perfect fit for you.

You can not go over 580 rwhp without an LT4 fuel system and need a JMS fuel pump voltage booster either way.

Just to clarify it's a zl1 1le so fuel system is there, will add the jms booster. I've read 650-700whp is about max anyway on the lt4, would you agree or is that really stressing it?

Yes how easily threads can get off track.

You can make up to 750 RWHP with JMS on the ZL-1 fuel system on Gasoline

I have many LT-4 builds well north of 800 RWHP and one currently sitting at 986 RWHP and it is happy as a clam.

Will still need to get a real cam to see the 750whp power level, right.

laynlo15 · 11-26-2019, 11:16 PM

We flogged my car and pushed it to the end and it made 700 stock motor with 2300 on 17 lbs of boost. We broke a couple of ring lands and ran 10.13@140 on the last 1/4 pass of the year (2018) and oiled the track and was loosing power down track, Didn't finish the season with the stock motor or any motor. Lost 4 months and if I'd just left it at 12 or 13 lbs we'd still be on the stock motor and running really low 10 teens. You have to be willing to break stuff but not anymore. We'll see about the anymore thing.

LT1 Yes needs E due to compression and stock cam profile

LT4 can do it on pump gas with this blower.

were you still running the stock exhaust?

laynlo15 · 11-27-2019, 02:38 PM

Yes, went to long tubes with the new motor and still have the stock exhaust from the cats back with the big suit case muffler.
