Help me build a monster!

[1htv6]

Ok Guys, this is it, all of your knowedge will be needed for this project.

I have plenty of spare cash, I want to trick my car out. Give me as much horsepower and torque as possible.

I already have intake and exhaust, but no headers, got a brand?

I DO NOT want to do a engine swap, but will do anything else...

Gimme everything you got!!! [img]graemlins/omg.gif[/img]

I need to know how much money you have before I can give you my recommendation.

I suggest you first check out the technical database. Also, look up "The Cardinal"'s web site - he a a good list of mods and prices.

As for you cash - send it to me for safekeeping. Don't worry about a thing - trust me.

Cool! Thanks Guys! Keep it coming please, I could really use some more info, like where to get pistons, etc.

if yo go nitrous go with a higher compression but if you go turbo or super keep stock compression

[Patrick Javert]

Just order a jegs catalog and look for the piston manufacturers there. don't get pistons with less than 1 inch of compression height because of issues with ring clearance. shorter rods may be needed for less compression as well as dished pistons. I'd say go as high as 8.75:1 compression ratio while using forced induction as well as nitrous because you won't use nitrous all the time and it is low enough for some ok boost levels as well as high enough for nitrous to like it. As and added saftey measure, get water and/or alcohol injection for your foced induction system. The water/alcohol acts like a intercooler for the hot air before it gets to an air or water intercooler and the alcohol is nice for more hp on top of the increased boost levels, spark timing advance, cam advance, compresion level, or a closer air/fuel mixture to stoich(14.7:1).

www.supersixmotorsports.com &lt;- custom heads & maybe cam too

www.compcams.com &lt;- another good cam place

www.rksport.com &lt;- headers, but there are leaking issues, search the board on solutions (weld to y-pipe)

you can get GTP (forged) internals from a dealer or gmpartsdirect.com

As for extreme performance.

Supercharger
Turbocharger
Nitrous

Take your pick [img]smile.gif[/img]

www.suncoastcreations.com for a nice hood

edit:
Almost forgot!

If you have an Auto, get a torque converter from www.converter.cc

Get some great tires (kuhmo seems to be very good for the price)

Really, you should do a search around. Read around the board for a week & you will have a great idea of what you can do (especially look around forced induction & look for the procharger kit, etc.)

anybody got some product #'s I could use for the l67 internals and the comp cam?

ttt :D

[WickEdSix9838]

once again....you guys have no clue how overkill titanium rods are!!!! they are NOT NOT NOT NOT needed!! a good set of 4340 forged steel rods will be just fine!!

[1htv6]

Ok,sounds good to me, please tell me where I can get them wicked.

[Patrick Javert]

Titaniun is not needed, but is very cool! You can get some that are just as strong as 4340 forged, but weight less. This means less power lost due to mechanical pumping losses due to internal parts inertia. very expensive, but worth the money for the coll stuff you get from them, and they also last a real long time unless seriously abused.

[1htv6]

What size pistons do we have? I think I may buy custom ones.

[1htv6]

One more thing, any particular brands you like?

[hawgs]

buy an ls1?
