Its not a unicorn thing.

Richard would be well into the 9s if he ran 1/4th

1000 rwhp puts you at 9s.

6.0 with a $900 s480 does it.

 

👍
denmah, in his lq4 Colorado did 1100rwhp with a stock lq4, sloppy cam, 210 injectors, s480 and 100 shot. Doesn't sound too difficult to me.

 

Feel free to give it a shot! Let us know how long it lasts as well.

 

I would not trust a stock LS Iron block past 600hp for a constant beating. Gonna have to side with Rich on this one, anybody can make power but getting it to that setup to be reliable over time calls for a whole different recipe.

And don't forget to add a driver mod to the list lol all that ain't worth **** if you can't drive

 

exactly. Even Matt was shocked it made it and drove home.

 

I drive a cam only lq4 Sierra with 150 plate shot on it. I've put numerous bottles through it and drive it at the drags regularly. It's no 1000 rwhp truck by any means but I certainly trust this 180k mile iron block.

I also have a 93 ls1 swapped firebird that I'm currently data logging and tuning. This car is well over 600 on a bone stock ls1 (valve springs only), with a 76mm turbo on it.

I'm not saying they can take a beating forever, but I'll find out and post about what went wrong. That's why I have back up ls engines in my garage lol.

Also, so right about driver mod!

 

I'll just mentioned the forged internal engine that I "wasted money on when a SBE 6.0 could make the same power" has been beat like it owes me money going on a few years now with dozens of 1000rwhp+ races with a turbo and with 800+ with a blower and nitrous. A SBE might could do that, I doubt it though, but I really dont like swapping engines.

 

I don't have 1000hp, but I should be close to 800awhp. I am still finding the weak points in parts that I wouldn't even expect to fail. I do not think a stock 6.0 and just bolting on a s480 can run very long at a higher hp level with out some major failures. And I don't see many 1k hp vehicles doing much street driving other than friday nights maybe. I try to drive my truck all the time when I can. It is still street reliable. I want to see a 1k truck put 10k miles on it. That's pretty rare(yes, I know you did Richard).

Granted my truck weights around 5700#. I thought with my build that I was going to see crazy track numbers out of my build. That didn't happen. It has been a slight challenge and irritating as **** sometimes, but fun along the way.

 

They can. Stock48, to my knowledge has been going 9s for several years now on SBE.

My setup drove just like stock and I drove it in Houston rush hour traffic in 100+ temps with A/C blasting. I wasn't making 1000 to the wheel, but it was close. I could have driven 10k miles other than the fact I got 8 mpg.

People are so fixated on running junk pump gasoline, that in my opinion is the reason you see a lot of SBE failures.

 

My setup was never intended to evolve into what it did.

Ideally, as Richard mentioned, you have a motor purpose built.

In a few years when I am in a better financial position, I will be building another turbo setup with the knowledge I gained.
