So as the title states I want to pick your brains...!!

Lets make paper build that in perfect situations will produce 900-1000 rwhp
Starting with a 408 ci short block, lets put heads, intake, and fuel. Then we will need to size the turbo and all piping.
I have read some about the turbos and setting them up but know next to nothing about doing it because ive never done anything with them.
I know its more than enough motor to do it but my thinking was to not have to boost as hard and make the engine last longer.

 

370
S480 with race cover
Stock heads and intake

 

What psi?

 

23-25

I see 20-22psi down the track which is around 950

 

I made 955RWHP at 22 PSI. Stock cover cast wheel. I would also suggest the race cover. I will more than likely be switching to an 84mm billet wheel and V2 race cover. That should be enough to put me well over 1000 if i want to push it.

 

I think you missed the 408 part

 

For only 900 rwhp goal a stock strong rod with a JFR cam will do it with studs and gaskets

408 stock heads prbly get to the 1k mark if it they push it

 

Parish in 2006 did over 1000 on a 408 with stock heads on pump gas........

 

That was 10 years ago and way ahead of the game back then we have come a long ways
