Another motor question
I went with a friend to a local engine builder for information. My friend wants a super fast camaro ss but wants to keep it fuel injected and prefers to keep it an LS-based engine. I heard with my own ears that this guy could quite possibly build him a naturally aspirated engine up to 700+ hp. He mentioned the new LSX block and some other goodies but is this possible to build and still retain some street manners? If this is possible, I'm going to start saving pennies now to transplant into the vette!

That's going to take some serious $$. I don't see why not though, theres a 4 cyl Acura Integra drag car making 1400HP.
Edit. 4000hp and with some help from a power adder

Is that flywheel or RWHP?
Might want to look at this post. Car made 612 RWHP. It's a 447 CI motor. NA

Don't forget to improve the rest of the car to handle the new found power.

We can build an N/A engine to make 700 flywheel hp but its going to be a bit snotty. It definatly wont have "perfect" street manors.
