Building our own SS


Recommended Posts

I found a website that appears to be selling the new vette engine and will be selling the new z06 engine this fall. So if we can get our hands on either one of those I think we will be going that route. That new z06 engine is awesome.

 

I have some limited experience with blowers but have zero knowledge of turbos. It seems that radix superchargers are the popular choice on this board. Would you continue with this choice on a new vette or would you look into turbos? Zippy you mentioned twin turbos do you have any references where I can read up on a turbo application on a vette engine? Did you have a specific brand in mind?

 

 

Thanks again for the help

Derek

Lingenfelter (R.I.P. John :flag:) bolts Radix to corvette motors. Might give you an idea of the gains. ...Looks like they haven't s/c the LS2 yet but I'm sure they will too. Here's the LS1 link

Derek my friend I have three words for you.... Banks Twin Turbo Their new 6.0L Twin turbo makes between 800HP- 1100HP+ :eek: I think the most you can do on pump gas is like 950HP But of course the price tag is a little big around $30,000 but man I've done the research on these engines and they are down right the best bang for the buck. Viturally Unlimited power capiblities and no lag in the boost area

it would be one mean ride that's for sure wish I'd read about it before I built my car :cry: . But that's just my opinion, best of luck with what ever you choose. :thumbs:
