Well technically, you started it. So..........
And unlike you, I don't feel the need to humble brag to get internet kudos. I am a perfectly capable, functioning member of society who contributes to the knowledge base of this forum and to other builds; both knowledge and physical work. Remember that post history you were so proud to dig up? Keep digging. More good than bad in there for sure
My problem with you:
Typos. My god man, typos
Humble brags; who cares?
Not knowing a damn thing about this, but claiming to be ready for 2k hp and claiming to have a chassis and fuel system capable of it. <- Case in point, anyone with a truck built to 7.50 specs knows how to spec the turbos for their setup and realizes that the motor they got a good deal on isnt ideal for their goals. So this tells me at least 2 things about you A) you do not have a chassis, fuel system or knowledge base capable of 2000 hp B) you arent ready for it
If you want my honest to God opinion about what you should do: single turbo the truck on drag radials, shoot for 5-600hp and have fun with it. Then you dont need a fancy *anything*
But what do I know, Im just an "***" who lives with mommy and daddy rofl
Take this same attitude you have to yellowbullet, send me the link; I'll bring the popcorn

I gave $4 to some homeless lady with a made up story that approached me at the gas pump yesterday.
But I think this thread is getting off track I want to see some burnouts and hear turbo noises!

When searching you don’t have to search specifically for that motor, there’s really nothing special about it that you can’t compare to another Forged 370 or 376. When it comes to making horsepower it’s more about comparing airflow per a given cubic inch, and that motor has a small cam with average heads.
Trying to make 1700 hp on a 376 is going to be a bit out of reach especially with powdered metal rods. How about 1000-1300hp? And yeah I know everybody seen this or that on the Internet,Holdener made 15xx on a stock bottom end at 29psi. Put it into a truck on the street and run it at that level and see how far you get. That was a cool test, but with two turbos that size it’s going to be extremely lazy and boring to drive until you finish your coffee waiting for it to spool.
figure out how many rpm you want to turn, are you going to change the cam? What intake are you going to run? All of this is part of calculating the airflow you’ll need. As for compressor maps, I know how to read them but you haven’t given enough information to make it worthwhile staring at them. Figure you’ll need roughly 10lb/min of airflow for every hundred horsepower at the fly wheel speaking generically.

going to not try and change the cam till after the I find the limit of the stock cam.
I have a Holley hi rise with 102 TB
the motor makes 450+ N/A so lets go with your 1200-1300 hp
and thanks for the help.

your not going to find the limit so to speak, a better cam will just make more power at less boost. Thus more power at less cyl pressure. The high ram will move the power curve up 4-500rpm generally on that cubes compared to a nnbs intake. What stall speed do you plan to run?

yea I though about the nnbs intake but the hi rise looks cleaner to me.
