850 rwhp from N/A 347 w/ 14 to 1 compression?

[Sleepy McNastee]

Is this guy full of it or did I miss something?!

EDIT for newbiness: this thread sucks

I have since talked to this guy. It was b.s. ....

What guy?

 

[Sleepy McNastee]

some guy i met yesterday. I really dont believe him but I just wanted to see if its eeven remotely possible.

 

[Sleepy McNastee]

hes not rich so i doubt he had the 50 grand iwould think it would take to accomplish that. He also was telling me it ran 8's with a stock 93 body.

Was it a honed LS1 with a forged bottom and a big shot?????

 

[Sleepy McNastee]

i dont think it was yeah I almost wanted to believe the guy, but i feel stupid now for even asking

All you need is 450 rwtq at 10,000 RPM...

 

[67stang390]

I would say that yes it is *possible*. However, possible doesn't mean that it's probable for "some guy you met yesterday" to have that kind of motor. Kind of like HairyCanary said, it would take a really high revving motor and a damn good balance, and this is assuming you've got a block and internals that can take that kind of RPM and power. Maybe an A4 or Dart block or something?

 

[Sleepy McNastee]

yeah that would be cool
by the way I am a long time lurker on stangnet but i just recently took the time to learn how to use all the stuff and what not. I am not really good with computers.

HIGHLY unlikely. maybe people are making those numbers with built 347's with a 300-400 shot of NOS, i dont know. integra type r's have the highest compression ratio of any street cars ive ever heard of, and none of them are running 14 to 1. it seems most people with stangs dont run higher than 11 to 1. i would think a NA 347 making that kind of power would be a race only motor.

 

[Sleepy McNastee]

Yeah, again I basically answered my own question. Just thought I would see what kind of reaction that post would get.

It's very possible. You could get that out of a 302/306 combination, but you're going to have to rev for it. A set of Blue Thunders, a stout cam, big compression, with enough manifold, and fuel would probably get you around 950 RWHP at 10,000 RPM. It could be done for about 12,000 bucks. Ask him what kind of cylinder heads he is running. That's how you'd be able to tell.
