1200HP/1000TQ Twin Turbo SBC 427 Corvette.

Not 1,500 HP, but 1,200 on pump gas.

"the engine runs detonation free on 93 octane pump gas, idles smoothly at 800-850rpm, and pulls about 7" of vacuum at idle."

Im impressed the homegrown gang is into HP

ahhhhhhhhhhh the fastime crew, they fail to tell you on his website how many times the motor has eaten itself. Fasttimes is 20 minutes up the road from my house. Inside the drag racing circle they are known as "bad things happen to those who frank builds motors for":glugglug

YO Whats max hp your shop does on pump gas?
You sound like you know your shit I serious.

Cool, you know them?

I wouldn't expect a 1,200 HP engine to run too long myself.

I'd take 500 reliable HP, and a ton of traction over more HP anyday.

What kinda set up you have?

Please dont say m3 LOL

sorry, um what brand are we talkin about first off? And secondly we only build Fords and 99% of them are big blocks

ya it will last but not long on pump gas. A variation in oil pressure of 10lbs or more and its toast on the street in traffic and heat

I own a 1986 International Race Of Champions Camaro.

Bone stock, minus the transmission. (For now anyway...)

I like how you said that.

First choice would be a mopar hemi with an aluminum block.

But you know best. What does ford do better :)

2.9L AutoCraft, Turbonetics T66, N20, about 1000hp at the crank on the bottle. Package weighs about 720 pounds.

its not what they do better, its what they do differently. what do you want to accomplish? street car? daily driver? weekend car?

Once a month driver but I want to be able to drive it 500 miles and around town without it over heating.:)

Unfortunately, it isn't running right now.

Here is the horror story: http://thirdgen.org/techbb2/showthre...threadid=94544

To make a long story short: I never took them to court. My Camaro made it here to CO before it died. As far as I see it: I was going to replace the engine sometime anyway. *sigh*.

Sure miss driving it...

ya 500 mile road trips are gonna be murder on certain applications. A healthy big block on pump gas that will make 600+ lbft of torque will have you giggling from ear to ear. Thta type of thing depending on what brand would cost ya around 10k or so MAX. Lots of factors involved though

ya thats an easy court win for you. I tprobably spun a rod or main bearing due to no oil pressure and the tickin you heard was the hydraulic lifters not pumped up.

When you say 600+ lbft of torque that is not the same as 600+ hp right?
I have a N/A 600HP now that runs on pump but it gets hot in traffic.

right, what you feel is torque when you lay into the throttle. Tell me more about what you have right now. Im curious

fully sik

a 440 with abit of work

compression? cam specs? more info, cause somethin aint right

its 10.75:1
cam not sure but miid I am told

compression is alittle high, but depending on other things, mainly the cam and how agressive it is. Single plane or dual plane intake, and how hot? 200degrees?

It hits 200 in traffic. Its sinlgle intake

200 is fine on a big block 220 and more we got problems.

... wtf are you guys talking about?

physics:1orglaugh

But shes in the red :(

nah, on a stock temp gauge? what kind of fan? and is the radiator stock?

alluminum radiator and two electric fans and a calibrated guage :)

hmmm, you got other issues at this point. you runnin a thermostat?
