I did. Currently 30k miles with boost on 5-10 psi. Their just like any other motor. GET A GOOD TUNE and don't get greedy with timing or dyno numbers you will be just fine.

 

 

What system is this? where did you get the turbo manifolds! I NEED..... I WANT!

I'm not scared! I just don't have $8,000.00 sitting around burning a hole in my pocket for purchase, installation, and tuning.

 

Not that I would mind having an extra 150 horsepower,

I made everything myself I do this kind of stuff for a living. I just don't post much about it since I'm not a vendor. I'm getting ready to 6.2 swap it I just picked up a 2016 lt1. Also swapping the turbo for something bigger hopefully in the next couple of months it will be ready.

I am doing the same thing. I have a L86 that will be going in soon. Cam and ported heads will be done before dropping it in though.

I'm debating doing a cam swap. I most likely will just to delete the dod lifters. Heads I'm just gonna leave stock put the money elsewhere these things flow plenty to support 1000hp in Stock form.

Haven't seen any stock heads make that kind of power yet. Who is claiming those numbers on stockers?

 

RT

With boost they will. Not n/a. It's not a matter of claiming. Look at the flow numbers and compare to gen 3 and 4 lsx motors that have made 1000hp without porting. I'd love to have mine ported but it's alot for not alot in my opinion.

Also forgot to mention about the cam swap Lingenfelter has a cam sprocket listed on their website to delete vvt also, but it's not released yet. Should make for interesting cam choices.

if u want to get 1000hp without changing the cam ur going to need an intake that has holes for injectors to help the stock injectors since the cam controls the mechanical fuel pump

Nah.... you can use the LT4 pump and injectors.

I could be wrong about reaching 1000hp without porting with boost but I feel it's doable. A lot of corvette guys are hitting 800+ with ease. Their stopping because of pistons breaking.

 

I read up on the vengeance racing drop in pistons made by wiseco and a lot of guys are having very good luck with them. Some over 1000whp and their literally drop in pistons no balancing needed.

 

As for the fuel system I've been told the same, lt4 pump and injectors is all you need especially if you have a cam with the larger fuel lobe. Haven't researched it for myself but no reason not to believe it.

I am at 1000 h.p and going to 1200+, you do the math 700 rwhp thru automatic trans,transfer case on a mustang dyno,and yes I use them both of them everyday just because I can and it makes me happy.

Yes in your case when your chasing big numbers especially with a 4wd drivetrain twins probably suit your needs better.

 

What I was saying is the guys who really never push their vehicle, or guys who just want the extra power for towing or something. Each setup has its place. But if you really look at what people are doing not to many people with daily drivers are pushing them to far. Just my theory of course.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      Hmm. A real reason to not just use the odometer to determine OCI?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.
