Thread: Trying to make 400 whp! Need Help!

Im unfamiliar with what e 85 means sorry im a noob.

Is that ZZP Intercooler that sits underneath the m90 still useable with a turbo kit?

On a real dyno (SAE corrected/dynojet) xp/full size ic/e85/headers/stage 2 heads/2.6 pulley/etc, etc, etc... made 348whp. (356 STD corrected, the wbody scene feel good correction factor)

So yeah... good luck with that :-p

Im trying to track down heads and a cam. Is it possible to piece a turbo kit together or is it more cost effective to buy one?

If you know exactly what you're doing then fabbing up your own kit will save you a bunch.
That's what I did and I still spent right around $2000 on JUST the turbo stuff.

That doesn't include injectors, tune, and fuel pump.
Also your trans will eventually break.

Where in VA are you? Im in Arlington...... AND im on E85 it is doable around here HOWEVER there is only ONE station that has E85 and its out on Wisconsin Ave. If your not around the DMV metro area good luck finding it ......... Ive tried!!!

Ive got 330whp/400wtq

S1X cam, E85, 60# injectors, Gen5 supercharger, headers.

Not a very long list of mods but with the trans in the car if your near by I'd like to meet up and check out your ride too. Not many Wbody guys around here.

Me personally anything that requires an expensive IC setup or a set of ported heads on a SC car is still going to be really really hard to crack 400WHP!!!
IF your hell bent on reaching 400whp turbo hands down don't ever waste your timing doing an IC or heads on SC Setup........

Ask around the forums and ask jayroca member on here what he thinks of my car........
He is currently in the process of ditching his IC setup and switching to E85!

As the previous owner of my cars said it best "The little E85 car that could changed his mind......." Quoted GMRBADASS aka Greg.

Again if your around the DMV im willing to help have HPtuner and pulley puller also just a FYI

Edit: 330whp/400wtq is enough to piss of a few rich dudes around here just sayin........ Not to mention the setup in my car would be pretty cheap to duplicate. Stock heads Stock bottom end, NO IC!

Darn, that joker was over 1000 bucks! I wish idve found this place in 06 when I got the car!

Im in virginia beach. Would definitely like to get together in the near future. I got nobody to talk motors and BS with! Pm me your number Ill send mine in return.

Vet, got a dyno sheet for that 330whp with just e85 and an s1x?

Sure do let me find it its from when greg had the car......
Made jayroca want to ditch his IC setup on his XP cam car so take it for whats its worth.... Me personally I think he IC on a Supercharged setup is a pain in the ass

Well ive got some cool stuff in trade if someone has a turbo kit for trade. All kinds of man toys and motors.
