351W Twin Turbo
Who wants to place bets on how long after its on the road that I die... ;D

i was seriously going to do that also......but the block i bought has hyperutectic pistons.....and not boost friendly. I had two T3 turbos all rebuilt and ready to go....oh well, maybe next time. I would love to get a Holset HX40 and build a nice single turbo if i ever decide to put forged pistons in. As far as life expectancy.....my wife gave me a month! ;D
Yea, I thought I saw you hanging around at turbomustangs. ;)
I am trying to figure out how to hook it. :P
I think I will be running a motor plate, the twin T3s, making my own turbine outlets... "which I may try and market"... dumping down at the firewall.
Mike Sitar ran a 11.80@117 in his 86 turbocoupe. It has to weigh in at 3600 bls minimum.
Thats 540 hp to push that thing to 117.
He had a $900 almost NO mod engine.
I plan on better heads, intake, headers, ect. In a car that I will be surprised to see touch 2600 lbs.
If you bench race those #s... thats a capability of a 9.9XX@135.
From a nice smooth daily driver type engine... :D
I will be more than happy with 10s.
Any traction ideas?

Our High School car was a '73 nova, n/a 350 sbc, power glide, 4:10ish gears. Back when the High School limit was 9.99, we ran it 10.20s-10:30s. That was a 2500lb car wet w/ driver, 550hp, 10.20s@130mph.
Your setup sounds capable of 9.9s@135, but I don't think it will happen for under $1000.
I did once see a mid-9 street Mercedes run at the track. They drove there and drove home too. The next year they pulled the street equip, changed over to methanol and were running low 8s. Lots of money in that one.
I've got a couple K in mine and I'm nowhere near the 9s. Dyno runs put me at 123hp 131tq. Time slips are 15.82@ 85.
I just need some cylinder-grow and some more shiny parts. I'll be in the 9s in no time! ;D
nah, wasn't saying it should...
Just from a pure theoretical weight to hp standpoint, it would be able too on a perfect run.
I dont see it being ANYWHERE close to perfect. :D
I will be happy with 10s. ;)

10 second street cars are pretty good bragging rights around here.
Most people run 13 seconds or slower.
It would be cool to have a car that fast, but I already visit the gas station fequently enough!
