I am building this car for the Texas Mile and as my stress reliever car. my goal is on going 250+ in the mile with it @ some point when i get the real motor in it.
A little break down on the specs of it, 5.4 mod motor, stock 4.165 stroke with larger 3.7 bore. 358 cubes darton sleeved block, Billet crank designed by myself with input from John Mihovetz from Accufab. Crank has center counter weights so i can turn this thing to 8300-8800rpms. As we know the cranks perform well "IE ASK RAY
" Manley billet rods. Diamond pistons. Heads are going to be off the hook, a little different than anyone has done. Roush is doing them and they will have a bunch of trick stuff used from the Daytona protype stuff, .580 plus lift and completly propritory valve material. I also have a set of heads from Fox lake so i can dyno between the two. Going to be 11.5 to 1 compression and run on e98 for going retardedly fast and e85 for around town/country stress relieving. Plan on making about 1600-1700 flywheel hp on e85 and running e98 for the mile duty. Blower selection is going to be 1 of 3 F2's i have, two of them very different as i did some pretty cool stuff with them. Headers were all made my self as i made a jig for them, they are 1 7/8 into 2'' step with 3.5 mufflers and x pipe! The Factory Blower was gutted and we removed where the throttle body was machined off about 3inched of the housing, then capped off where the rotors went and put a 1'' titanium jack shaft through it. I am also in the process now of having a carbon shaft made. Next i sent it do JOHN BECK of BECK MECHANICAL/Texas to do the elbow with where i positioned the T.B. He started with a 104 pound chunk of billet alum and machined the elbow and welded it up for me. The jackshaft then has a supercharger store gear drive coupler on it where it meats the blower. I designed the blower bracket. The car then went to RaceCraft Inc and the crew there drew up the Trans x-member, fabricated the blower pipe to t.b, and built the transfer tank for the belt driven fuel system! A big thanks goes out to PAT,MARK, COREY and the rest of the crew there for helping me out with this!!!! The fuel system will utilize a transfer tank that the factory pumps will pump into and then it will have a magnafuel belt pump and regulator, due to the fact that im runnin a set of 80lb and 160lb injectors on it. Firing this thing is a BigStuff3 Standalone computer with alot of options, Pan vac, racepack egts, fuel pressure, coolant pressure, oil pressure, etc. I then figured out a way to utilize the oem coils instead of the LS1 coils for a cleaner look!! I had my machinist built me a custom set of Wilson d-shaped fuel rails for it. It will also be sporting a traction control box that is very fast and very smart. i have been workn with a company on it for over a 1.5 years. Btw its only 1'' wide 1'' tall and 4'' long. its smarter and faster than most comuters.
It will have dss axles, and the transmission is getn a fuel cryo and gear treatment from liberty in the near future. I then took all the new Ceramic composite brakes off the ZR1 corvette and Modified all the uprights off the GT so it would all fit. This dropped 44lbs of rotor rotating mass alone!!! I had 360 FORGED build me some 21*13 rear wheel wrapped in 355-25-21 Pirreli tires for the rear. and 20*9 for the front. I then sent them the material and they wrapped the centers of the wheels in blue carbon kevlar. Last but not least this thing is going to wear a complete Carbon Fiber body from Us as were are working on duplicating all the body panels off the car in carbon fiber. Roof skin will be on this week
hoping to have a clamb ready next week. I guess that is about it for now off the top of my head.
I have made 1650 hp with one of these blowers on my racecar with a 360'' motor. If we can figure out how to make the cams/heads happy with the blower and everything else goes as planned there is no reason this thing wont make that much power. Back in 04 John from accufab did a motor that was only 281 cubes with a less technology blower and made 1450hp on a engine dyno. That was with a old school B-head i believe as well.
i'll post a couple pics as well.
