1000 rwhp turbo build question
Hey everyone this is my first post.. I've been wanting to build a street truck with 1000 rwhp... Here's my idea... 6.0 ls2 lq4, heads, turbo cam, intake manifold, turbo kit (25-30lbs), built 4l80e, upgraded driveshaft and rear end.. My questions are, Is all this necessary for that amount of power? Will the motor hold that amount of power with those upgrades?
Someone tell me if this sounds right?

Launching!
For 1000 RWHP you will need alot more than that, a complete blueprinted engine, o-ringed block and heads, forged internals, tig welded custom intake manifold, Serious injectors, custom fuel system, a big turbo, a built rear axle, A 4l80e from a reputable builder.
What is your budget? what is the purpose of the truck? Why 1,000HP?
You may need to set aside $25,000+ for this build.

If you want a streetable engine capable of 1000 rwhp........the engine alone will cost 25,000.
...when I say "streetable", I mean that the can run around on the 1000 rwhp tune and not be afraid to beat on it.
1000 rwhp one-hit wonders are easy........but far from reliable.

I think 25K is a bit much but a stock motor isn't going to like that HP level for along time. Making 1/4m passes is one thing but something that is routinely going to be beat and be reliable then time for some good parts. Depends the combo and fuel. Also how fast you spin it is going to come into play. I would like to think my new motor will handle that without issue and it wasn't 25k. Also, a turbo setup is easier on the motor then a supercharged setup. The blower puts a large load on the crank so that will tie up some money to address that issue.
When it comes to high rpm a blower will really try to flex the crank do to the loading off of the front. Some also say at high RPM the back pressure of a turbo setup helps the rods live longer at higher RPM, I get the logic but don't know how much it really factors in.
I wanted mine to handle 7k rpm and 18psi or more so given that its a blower and not a turbo I put some money into the bottom end. Would my stock 6.0 do that? Ya most likely, but for how long is the question. I had it to 16psi and 6700 numerous times but didn't really get a warm and fuzzy feeling about it.

Personally, I'd say 1/4 mile runs are far more taxing than using 1000 hp on the street. Think about it, on a 1/4 mile run you are flat out for 10 seconds or thereabouts. Where on the street are you putting down 1000 rwhp for 10 seconds? Unless you are doing serious street racing, most hits on the street are a couple seconds at that power level.
