Thread: 700 hp turbo 3800

how difficult and costly would it be to build a 700 hp 3800? I'm assuming about 5000 for the stattama turbo, what else would be needed and maybe an estimate.

Figure you'll need an entirely unobtainum built trans at like $7000 plus heads, cam, injectors, E85...so maybe 11k?

I'm actually not worried about the trans, thinking about doing this on an 4th gen F body Camaro or Firebird. The 4L60 can be built to hold ~700 hp for like 3500 dollars. There is no E85 here, so I would probably have to do a methanol shot.

Do you think it would hit 700 with the turbo, heads, cam, bigger injectors and methanol?

I would PM that twin engine guy from Canadialand. He made a GP run like 10's on stock injectors and stuff. He might be a valuable resource.

if it took 2 turbos to make 800, how feasible is 700 hp on one turbo?

With longitudinal setup twin turbo would be easy.

the 4L60 should be able to be built to handle the power

that would be cool but the 4l60 will be easier to use since its what will come with the car. I still dont have the camaro. this is just a what if scenario
