Maybe you were smarter than me and started with an aftemarket block, or just didn't go overboard building a stock block.

IF you dont mind me asking, how much did your turbo setup cost? I mean everything, and what did you have tot do internally?

Just getting an Idea. Also, how much boost and what kind of times do you run?

Thanks!

What's the rest of the combo? My friend and I both run Novi 2k combos. My friend made 466rwhp @ 10psi and ran 16psi at the track. I made >600rwhp @ 13psi through an AOD and it still has a/c and power steering.

mm&ff run a completly stock 5.0 longblock with a turbo at 15 lbs of boost. they are running low tens through an aod.

it is still street driven and it is raced quite often.

No I'm an idiot and didn't build the motor up yet. I'm thinkin about parkin the car and getting a beater and build a strong a$$ 347 and then swap it in. Not sure yet.

The Turbo kit cost me to the door $5700 but I also upgraded a few things and the kit really is complete (as long as you get all the parts that your supposed to, unlike me [:@]) All the parts are Jet-Hot coated so that is good. Internally like I said I didn't do anything. The most internal thing you have to do is remove the upper intake manifold and do injectors and tap a hole in the oil pan. But that's about it.

Are you running >600 RWHP with a stock block? I made 584 RWHP through a C4 running a bit lean and retarding timing, I could most likely get to the 600 but, my concern is breaking the block and taking all my good parts with it.

Major parts of the build are 347
forged crank, H-beams, and dished Probes
custom grind comp cam
TF TW heads
long tubes
GT 40 lower with Downs box upper.
I can give you all the pariculars if you like.

insane! sucks that u can't even use all the hp for fear of breaking the block. i would just buy an aftermarket block cause if u sale the motor do a big block build up u won't get what u want out of the 347.

here is the pull at 584 RWHP and it was going lean
you see we had the fuel pressure way up to start the pull. The 42# injectors are just not enough.

Are you talking about the Hooligan Hot Rod with the HP turbo and the Lentech AOD? If you are, they blew the motor! They tried to swap out the 302 for a 347 and than cracked the block on the first run. Im buying doors off of the guy who now owns it.
