johnkoestler Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hey Guys I've been debating on whether to set my compression ratio up for 18 pounds of boost or go Naturaly Aspirated? I'm going to drop a LQ9 402 into my 79 Trans Am and was wondering how ridiculous my horsepower output should be. I figure about 600hp N/A or 1000+ for TT. Just thought you guys could help me decide.

04CHASE Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 well there is a big difference in costs so i would base it on you rbudget. but if you can afford it , it shouldnt even be a question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnkoestler Posted June 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Well I can afford it so I guess I'm going to go with the insane remote twin turbo! Add a T56 Tranzilla and some 4.10s in a Strange 60. The car won't have anything but the motor and a small stereo so the budget won't be wasted on useless stuff. Owning my own body shop helps with making it look good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Lamanna Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 If you want to do naturually aspirated, forget the 402 and do a 511 with the new lsx block. about the same cost with more displacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
