[catman3126]

Got her on the stand last night, 16.5:1 .020 over fingers pistons, 6480 socal Af carillos, main studs, Arp head studs, Ported LBz heads with socal springs, 60% exergys, exergy 10MM, Danville 66MM billet turbo, BW s480 with race cover, profab manifolds up pipes, bridge, and boost pipe. Keyed crank and cam, Mahle Clevite gasket set. ATI damper, Socal flexplate and arp bolts. I think thats everything. shooting for 850 with this setup. doable?

that's for sure doable! that's a great set up!

 

[coker6365]

Very doable hp goal! Almost a spitting image of my current build in progress. :thumb: Good luck and keep us posted.

 

[catman3126]

will do I will try get the bottom put to gether this week front and rear covers and pan. where can I get flasges to build the twin piping? like the t6 and the v band flanges? there is a guy here that has a lly 2wd reg cab I'm almost tempted to buy it from him and built a race truck instead of putting this is my crew cab and then i would take all the good stuff off mine and sell it and keep the 11' he is asking 6K it has 265K on it tempting.

 

[coker6365]

I am not sure on the piping, I am sure someone will chime in.

6k for a running dmax is a good price and 2wd will work great on the track. Just don't expect it to launch on the street. LOL. I gave a little less than that for my LBZ, but it had a blown headgasket and the FPR was bad. It was running and driving when I picked it up, just not very good.

It all depends on your goals...

 

[catman3126]

Yeah I want to be able to get traction on the street. I'll just stick with the one I have.

columbia river mandrel bending will have everything you need to build a twin kit. i bought all my stuff from them for my car. good luck on the build, you will have to bring it up to the alligator dyno event when your done so i can take a ride!

 

[andy-stevenson]

The only thing holding you back hp wise might be the cp3. Iirc I was told the 10mm is good for 700-800hp.

 

[catman3126]

Yeah I'll see where it limits me and then twin it if I want more I guess. or do a 12MM.

 

[LWATSON]

Do a 12 if you can. I've ridden in a truck with one and a single S480. He was around 850 horse. Truck ran really good!

 

[catman3126]

I already have the 10MM it will be a big improvement over what I have now untill I feel the need for more. I really doubt 800+ is going to ever get old and feel slow lol. I'll just buy another 10 and twin it if I need too.

Dowel pinned the oil pump gear with a piece of drill bit shank.

Nice to have a machine shop to do little stuff like this at work.

 

[coker6365]

Sure wish I had those tools...:thumb:

 

[catman3126]

SOMEDAY!!! I will have a mile and a lathe in my shop. for right now I can use the ones at work and there things i need more right now. but when the plant shuts down thats probly when i will buy them.

 

[catman3126]

Made some progress. Oil pans are on and heads are torqued down. 10MM exergy is also on. Now to decide on a valve cover and rocker box powder coat color.

 

[catman3126]

Alright I keep going back and forath on turbo selection I have a Danville 66 and was going to twin it with an 80MM I have with a 1:32 ar and a T6 with a race cover. but on the other hand I wan the fleece 471 as a single. I was this thing loud so twins will quiet it down too much but am I going to be able too make 850 with it. i'm close to be able to install this engine so I need to decide soon. I hear good things about the fleece chargers. i'm not worried about drivablitly since I have an lml also
