The Cam/Clutch/Engine Build as the F1X Install are being done By Jorge From JB Performance (Very nice and intelligent guy, very well versed in the LS and LT world) For an amazing deal by the way.
Currently car put down 740whp/780wtq on a dynapack chassis dyno with a 2.31 pulley, meth, headers, intake.
F1X Kit is from Drew and Eric here and I got a great deal on it, pulley is for 20psi. Shooting for 1100WHP, after the engine gets broken in I will see about switching pulleys to my end goal of 1400whp. Any recommendations on changes or additions? Plan on getting the car tuned at Accelerated Racing Solutions in Rancho Cucamonga California as Ryne from Cunningham Motorsports has been a complete and total dick to me in the process, refusing out of some personal beef with Ben from Weapon X to even touch my car if I used WeaponX Parts. With that poor of customer service that guy provides it is a wonder how they even are still in business (Or at least as recommended as they are)
I'm looking forward to the progress of this as it's always been my dream to own a late model high end sports car that was completely built.
Sounds awesome! I’m having mine done as well here in Texas also. I’d recommend the 15” conversion if you ever plan on using that power. I had the setup you have now 19” and it was worthless at 700ish and after I added Nitrous and E-50 completely worthless. The 15” conversion will make all the difference in the world and allow you hammer down! If not all that power is like having a sexy wife or girlfriend but you can’t hit it! LOL
Goodluck!!

I like my brakes so I'll probably stay with the 19s x) Can't wait till this setup is done!!! Thank you for your reply
Any reason you wanting to keep the alky kit? I am with the others with the power level you are at the 15” conversion is the only way to put that kind of power down. Congrats on the build bud!!

Damnit, I was hoping to avoid losing the carbon ceramics as this is my daily driver. How does the vehicle respond with the ABS etc and drivability?
I really just want to freeway rape everything and run 1/4 miles once a week, these nittos are ok at getting the job done but MAN I would love a better tire option
Put a wastegate on it and pull some boost out to control power levels on street. Chris @ Crawford Racing set me up with his HRFUELER and custom wastegate so we can pull boost out up top but keep as much down low we all know F series blowers don’t have as much low end power. It’s all about matching power to tires. If you aren’t doing the 15” you may can get some 18s with ET streets (get some skinnies for track). I have the same problem with CCBs. I don’t want to lose them because I plan on doing Roebling Road events (road course). There isn’t much of a happy medium for high horsepower builds. Unfortunately. So I will pull power out when on street and road course racing then put more in with my ET street skinnies setup.

Nice to see you Vert! Great idea, any recommendation on Wastegate and also could you give me an idea of where to route it ?
beautiful car!!! I’m in the same Hood! I live down on Ocean at the International Tower! Would love to meet and car chat with you in person, plus checking out the beast.

18” with drag radial and modulating the boost at lower rpm will do the trick. I think the Prochargers are high rpm monster to begin with so the 18” will be okay at the upper rpm. Down low, control the tq a bit and you will be in the game. Need a great tuner like Crawford for sure.
No major issues with 18's on my old F1X setup making north of 1000whp hooking in 2nd from a 60 roll and I'll still be rocking 18's on the new turbo setup that replaced the F1X.

yes sir good to see your build coming to life!! Excited for you brother! Not quite sure where Chris is recommending to put my wastegate he includes the charge pipe piece I will just weld it together myself. If Chris doesn’t chime in I will ask and let you know. He is still putting my full kit together should be here in a week or two. You still keep the blow off valve this just controls boost pressure allowing you to adjust power levels at will. I know the ProSpeed ACM I just sold before switching to Chris HRFUELER system had a 5 or 7 way switch which allowed on the fly boost adjustment. Not sure if the Holley 2.0 kit has that or how I adjust on the fly. Will have to ask. Hope I can adjust by E85 or 93 or it may adjust by the flex fuel sensor. This is above my head ;-).
Definitely subscribed to your build you have a monster coming!!!

the alky is already already installed so I will leave it for cooling properties and maybe do a 50/50 blend instead of 100% meth thTs it at now.
