And be sure to get to a load bearing dyno to see what those things can really push!

gotta problem...
i cannot make over 9 psi of boost....cannot load the motor...lack of traction. beat nitto dr tires and cold air ain't helping
i know that there's been alot of talk about large cubes motors vrs small cubes and i have to admit that i didnt see the need for large cubes but not so sure about that now! its so nice, the part throttle torque its intoxicing.
well sorry for trying to make u spend more money but....oh btw i ll be hittin the dyno this weekend..........what cha think ill make?
going to push it to 20psi!

I have never been in a small cube turbo car.. but i can say my 402 hits hard without any boost .. and with boost i load max psi top of third.. with the cold air and the nitto's ..does not help at all..

i guess what we need to keep in mind is that with a large motor it allows u to get a little nutz w/turbo selection. wont be penalized so bad if u go large.

It'll break the 1000, I just about gurantee it!! I'm saying 1072. It made over 800 before and it has way better heas, better intake, better turbos and plenty more cubes!!! Not to mention 2 more psi of boost and cooler temps!!! Nick's going huge!!

I have no idea how many lb/min your turbos flow, but using internet math... a 427 has roughly 450whp and 14.5psi on an efficent setup equals about a 100% increase in HP. If you are running 20psi then I'm going to go out on a limb and say your break 1000whp and your TQ will not be far behind.
How much of that you will actually be able to use is a different question all together

yeah 427 approx 9.0:1 trick flow heas from TEA inconel valves, cam motions 234 231 59X turbos are turbonetics E cover w/66 compressor, .81 AR with F1 turbine. this thing pulls WAY harder then last set up..not even close!

I think anything under 70 degrees on Nittos it's useless, and around 40 degrees forget it!
