drexebo said:well I'd just be lookiing for the maximum power that I could possibly take advantage of in a forged engine. I can envision a KB kit with heads & cams hitting close to 600rwhp, and I think Kidd's stroker is a good landmark example of what a supercharged stang should be @ 663rwhp. I guess the ultimate goal for an engine like this would to be able to hand 90% of the 03 cobras on the street their a$$es.
Jackie Chan said:the local shop here just put an stock pullied s trim on gt with champion ported heads and one of vt's cams set ups along with all of the supporting mods(i think just an intake plenum no bullitt)and pulling a buttload of timing and a fat fuel curve it was all over 500rwhp. I think it was hitting 10lbs of boost. With a few more pounds of boost, leaning it out a bit more and adding in some timing just think what it could do.
before h/c it was putting down high 300s for rwhp
wasnt there a car they already did? i know i read about a kb powered 2v somewhere that was putting down some power.micool said:You would get a drop in boost with a motor running ported heads, cams, full exhaust, etc with any blower. The problem is that KB doesn't make a pulley smaller than their "14 psi" pulley for the little 1.7 so you'd have to have something custom made and then deal with the belt slip. They have a 2.2 in the works that "supposedly" just made over 600 hp on a engine dyno running a shm motor.
Fwiw, I ran a 1200 cfm T Trim (17 psi) when my car made 663 rwhp, not a novi.
I believe T&J is putting a car together right now with a KB, 5.0 Stroker, ported heads, cams, the whole nine yards, so you might keep your eye out for those results.
Yes, ralan made 507 rwhp/56? rwtq with a VT 5.0 longblock at 14 psi. I meant (I wasn't specific enough) that T&J has a car that they built the motor and ported the heads on that is getting a KB. Two of them, I believe. If I'm not mistaken ralans car made 500 rwtq by 2800 rpm.Jackie Chan said:wasnt there a car they already did? i know i read about a kb powered 2v somewhere that was putting down some power.
Agreed.tontot77 said:its your ride, you have to decide... but when you are talking about 20+ lbs of boost, you are talking about astronomical amounts of power... more than I would want on a street ride. I say, just because you can go nuts with the power, doesn't always mean you should... the rest of your car is going to take a severe beating if your pumping out 700 lbs of tq... just something to think about.
Did that car have ported heads though or just a built shortblock?neoclasiccl said:The kenne bell gt that was there (laser red) put down some nice numbers (low 500's) so there is potential but I would wait for the 2.2 if you wanted to really turn up the wick on a built motor.

Btw, 500 rwhp= plenty of juice to get into the 10s......
*EDIT* Nevermind, I think that car did have ported heads on it but not a stroker. I don't know what "stage" the heads are though.
