Default Need Power Advice

I’m sure there a thread on this or something similar so please let me know of them.



But I’m looking to add more power to my car. Not sure which route I want to go or should go. I’m looking at either porting out the LT4 blower with Kong and running an NX Lid with 100-150 shot of nitrous.. or getting a Kong ported 2650 either Edlebrock or Magnuson. Looking at a 1000+whp final goal



The following is my current build, somethings will be changing and I’ll be adding more besides the two bigger components such as a Cordes 5in Intake, 102/112mm Nick Williams TB(depending on route taken) and adding Ally Dual nozzle Meth kit on whichever route I decide, possibly Frankensteined Heads as well. Feel free to let me know anything else I may need to change and/or add.

I can tell you what you need for 1k whp based off my car. I don't have 1k whp but my car has the capability for it.

Firstly are you getting a built motor? If not well you'll be pushing it some which is why I haven't gone that far.

Mods: Magnuson 2650, 103 Nick Williams TB, 5" Cordes CAI, Mighty Mouse CC, 2" Kooks LTH & Offroad X Pipe, custom cam, ported stock heads, Alky Dual Nozzle Meth, DSX low side | 935whp 747tq on 93 octane, 16psi on hub dyno

With a different pulley and race gas my car is capable of over 1k whp. A few alterations you could do would be 30% injectors and a better HPFP and running E85.
But the typical 1k whp ready combo I see is: Magnuson 2650/Procharger F1x with the right pulley combo, full bolt ons, Heads/Cam, fueling (injectors, hpfp, low side).

Surely one of the shops that frequent this forum can help you better though.

Okayy thanks I appreciate that. I did plan on 30% injectors with the 2650 route. Just forgot to throw in there I guess. But again thanks I appreciate it. I’ll take all that into account and wait a while to see what other May say or maybe for one of the frequent shops to drop in and let me know more.
