Turbo gentlmen

What about an old style roots blower on a modern LS? This thread has me looking at stuff I cant afford so I'll just post pics of cool stuff I ran across...

Look at the 2 latest Hot Rod Garage on YouTube for them installing two different blown LS's. They do look good.

Hmmm... I can go from 520rwhp to 620rwhp to 690rwhp to 810rwhp to 900rwhp in a matter of minutes with my N20 set up.. I'd call that easy to adjust..

It's not too hard to build a solid trouble free 400" ls motor that will make 500rwhp. I recently did a stock bottom end 5.7 with small 228/236 cam that made 462rwhp @ 5,800rpm with 440ftls of Tq. It just takes a well thought out combo.

Cheaper also.

Gm LS9 aluminum block, Callies magnum crank, "billet steel Oliver rods" je forged Pistons. The heads seem a bit pricey to me... They are gym but they port them .. Titanium valves. 417 motor sports makes a killer 2000hp intake/intercooler. He has 350 units out with no complaints of heat soak. I'd go with a btr stage 3 turbo cam. This set up is around 17500

Lingenfelter is nice but they usually are a bit higher priced for what you get.

TMS has a really good reputation and is probably a better bang for your buck:

Not sure what all the sbc hate is about. I been beating on the same pump gas iron headed sbc for 5 years. Never been on a dyno but e.t. to weight says it makes just under 700 rwhp on a 200 shot. Seen more bottles then most kids do growing up and hurt alot of turbo/boosted LS powered cars feelings at the same time. Got less in my entire build then you can get a decent turbo kit for.

I'll be the first to admit the LS is an impressive platform, but don't count out a well thought out and put together sbc or BBC. Bang for your buck you will never compete with either once you get past 700ish hp in my experience. Atleast not and have it survive any length of time.

The price seems to be pretty damn close ... This is 30 grand yikes.. 1000 horse supercharged Holley efi... But ouch

Borrowski builds very nice very good qaulity stuff. i just watched them build a twin turbo street ls427 with 88 mm turbos made on a mild tune 2347. they are currently building my 540 tt street motor. i dont want an ls everyone has one these days and nothing spectacular. like steve morris mike moran all say you can have big block power in an ls but you will pay 3 times as much to get it to stay together as well. Mine is for a street cruiser and were trying to keep it hopefully down around 1000 to 1200 whp. and junkyard no way if you're building something really nice. which by the sounds of it you are. but for 700 whp that is very very easy to make being turbo. you can have 1200 to 1500 very streetable daily driver motor. I haul cars for a living and haul them type of cars all the time. even driven a camaro with a 572 twin turbo in it drove just like a normal car until you got into it. the gentleman claimed as long as you dont beat on it all the time would get over 20 mpg's

Wow totally forgot about this post. Borowski builds awesome stuff. I ended up going with an rhs502 tall deck ls block. Naturally aspirated with a spit of nitrous.
