Building a 1000hp Motor...

[SYCK SS]

So I started this thread else where, and I thought I would share the experience with my C5G members.

After blowing my motor at the race track a few weeks ago, I was now faced with the decision of how I would need to build my motor. The 2 options are...

1.) repair the broken parts and go back to stock components
or
2.) building it to be a monster...

anyone that knows me will be able to say which option i decided on.

But what this means is the car will be out of commission for a long time as I will be saving up for only the right parts and make sure this thing is built 100% correctly to take the abuse I will be throwing at it.

So I will use this thread for specific updates to the progress of just the motor build. So here are my goals and what components I will be using to hit my goals... hopefully...

GOALs: 1000whp - 9.99 1/4 mile pass - 138mph trap speed

MOTOR BUILD PARTS: stock displacement 376ci
*Stock LS3 crank and stroke
*WEISCO PISTONS -11cc DISH 4.07in bore - 9.5:1 compression
*CALLIE COMPSTART I-BEAM RODS
*CLEVITE BEARINGS ALL AROUND
*ARP STUDS ALL AROUND
*CUSTOM TURBO CAM GRIND - FROM COMP CAMS (still deciding on specs)
*ALL SUPPORTING VALVETRAIN UPGRADS, SPRINGS, PUSHRODS, ROCKERS, ETC(exact parts still waiting on cam choice and spec)
*COMETIC MLS HEADGASKET - .051 thickness
*STOCK INTAKE MANIFOLD

I will add and update list and progress goes on.

Yes i could go all out and get stroked motor but I have several reasons on why to stay stock displacement.

*I want to try to be one of the first manual 5th gens to run a 9 second pass - stock displacement
*fastest stock displacement manual 5th gen - 10.28
*there are very few if any reported 5th gens producing 1000whp with stock displacement. Even though its been done with other LSx platforms... i want to make it happen
*I like to prove what stocks parts can do. So by keeping the stock manifold,heads,crank, and block... i can really see what these parts can do.

So with this thread i will also be thinking "out loud" of reason why i chose different setups or parts over others and every please feel free to chime in.

OrangeChevyII over on Camaro5 went 10.281 @ 134.26 with stock cubes with

200Shot, Cam LTs, Exhaust, Tune, Skinnies and DRs.

9.99 should be easily doable with 1KHP.

Thats what i am hoping. He is the one I am out to beat for sure.

The other thing I am thinking about doing is seeing if i can do it with stock driveline and suspension too hahaI know the suspension will hold up. But the rear end and driveshaft are going to be the ticking time bombs for sure.

U already mess up your drive shaft bolts and rear end with 600 HP what do u think 1k will do lol

Haha well instead of the bolts bending... I predict they will shatter.

And the rear end... well that will shatter again too. But my rear end broke because of a 1 wheel Peel... so maybe the extra power will help prevent that????

Too funny....very nice to see the passion you have for your car...really cool = )

That Trans will shatter too, better call RPM transmission. Driveshaft(s) will not hold up. Axles will break on launch or grabbing a gear in high rpm and shifting. Any of these components failing at 100 mph is very dangerous especially a 2 piece driveshaft.

Coat all of your bearings on your build also including your pistons.

He has aftermarket axles so at least that should be able to hold to a while... everything else.... kapoooya

Yup the bearings and pistons are going to be coated. Another plus for weisco is they don't charge extra for it.

As far as the driveline, I only plan on dynoing 1000whp one time. Then bringing boost back down to a steady 800-900whp for driving.

I will only track the car once to give it a shot. Wont shift hard or launch hard. Just a shake down pass.

I am thinking about doing the ZL1 driveline conversion they just released. For about $3700 you get everything from driveshaft, axles, and read end with gears. To completely bolt the gear in. I like how it is a 9.5 inch gear, and it comes with a 3.70 in it. The 9 inch kits are just crazy rediculous when it comes to price. I also plan on sending my current DSS1400 axles in to get them switched over to fit the ZL1 rear end. I think that setup will be able handle the power.
