Just like the title reads. The truck will be going under the knife shortly for some winter mods and I was wondering just what everyone though it would make for power. Also what does everyone think the fastest that it will run at the track this year???
FWIW: The basic mods on the truck are/will be:
Built 4.8
STS 67mm turbo
FMIC
LS-1 Ported Heads
Small Cam
Carb intake
Built 4l60e
18-20# boost on pump gas

 

Sorry man but I dont see it really doing a whole lot on just 293 cubes. mjhoward put down 450 to the wheels with his radix and 13psi of boost and all the other bolt on stuff. I realize that the turbo is more efficient but not 100hp moer efficient that you would need to get in the 10s that you would need. Maybe a larger cam, more boost, drop some weight and go from there I think with that you could get into the 10s with the little motor. I hop eyou can cause everyone thinks they aint worth a crap and it would be awsemoe to see that little motor turn a 10.

 

Ive got faith in the 4.8.... I say 675RWHP and a 10.80 run with a bigger turbo and more boost.

 

Wow got alot of faith in it

Maybe a bigger turbo with some nitrous to help spool it

 

well it has already made 530rwhp running out of fuel and at 17lbs of boost. mjhoward only made 27 more rwhp than I did with my radix stock 4.8 engine and mine was through a auto, his was through a 5-speed

 

If a 5.7 can do over 800rwhp with a stock cam I don't see why a 4.8 can't do over 600rwhp.

 

I'd say it does 531hp.

 

Then give me my money back

 

lol you'll be real close to 600 i bet. What times were you running at 17#?

 

Only had one run at 17#'s. I went 11.8 @118.9 with a 1.9x short. I had a burn valve due to number 7 going lean. I think that if I could have got it too launch and hook them it would have gone 11.6X's at about the same mph that I had.
