1000 hp LSX Daily Driver

[TOM NELSON]

Heres some pics of our Nelson Racing TT402 lsx the motor idles like a kitten and makes over 900ft lbs at 3000 rpm 1100ft lbs at 17 psi we only ran the motor to 1050 hp at 17 psi at 5300 rpm but with 32 psi capable this things nasty power with stock driving character.I will scan the Dyno numbers and post them.

Tom, what is the price range on one of those beasts? My guess is, if I have to ask.....more than ALOT.

[nbecker]

That motor is a work of ART!!!:thumbsup: I bet it would look Beautiful in my impala. What is it going in?

[californiacuda]

Do you run a cross over pipe on the hot side before turbos, and do you think it makes any diff. What do you normally do for inter cooling?

[Jr]

Can we get a pic of the back of the motor?

The motor looks great!

[marxcamaro]

Love it! If you don't mind me asking what heads and what size turbos are you using on that bad boy? 1,000 horsepower gotta love it!!

[camcojb]

and I'm still waiting for an answer to my question on the other site to this post................ what chassis is that header setup designed for? :P

I tried scanning the dyno sheets.But the files are to large to upload.Even when i shrink them so anyways 3500 rpm 992 ft lbs 630 hp 4000 rpm 1093 ftlbs 832 hp 4500 rpm 1091 ft lbs 935 hp 5000 rpm 1064 ft lbs 1013 hp 5300 rpm which is all we ran it to 1020 ft lbs 1029 hp and climbing.

Dyno right now we will be putting it in in a few weeks .Working on yours at the moment finally got the collectors in the other day they look nice.But i beleive this set would also fit the Chevelle.Won't no for a few weeks though.

[TOM NELSON]

We don't normally run a cross over pipe.Cost for this engine like you see it with intercooler and fuel sytem is 36.000 dynoed.The heads are raw castings we get from edelbrock and Richard from West Coast Cyl Heads runs his full cnc program threw the head they only measure out at 210 cc runner volume and flow over 310 cfm it's a pretty neat head.Then we stuff them with inconel valves ti retainers double springs etc..

[TOM NELSON]

We are running two of our 72 mm nre modified units.

[TOM NELSON]

haven't run a cross over could be pretty cool idea.i would run a bellow if you do.I run air to airs i like them for the street.

[surreyboy]

looks awesome but in the second pic the guy in the back is holding an impact gun to his own head:_paranoid

[XcYZ]

36.000 for a quality engine isnt actually too much if you think how much R&D has been put in to it. Tom can you tell us the maintenance of this engine? How streetable-everyday it could be? Would dropping the power a bit change anything? If cammed brand name LS7 is close to 25K there isnt a big jump to double horsepower and torque.

Dropping the power in boosted engine is just as simple as dropping the boost! I think the only problem in your case my friend would be the surviving of the T56 :rolleyes:

Based on your forum nick name you may not heard of the latest news on T56 camp . 2008 Viper SRT will get totally new and improved desing wich takes +600hp easily. I am pretty sure +1000 wont be a broblem after D&D treatment:D

[TOM NELSON]

This is an extremely reliable piece.I would use it for my everyday car it idles at 14 inchs manifold pressure very smooth .It has a hydrualic roller with only 360 pounds open pressure which should live a super long time.Thats one of the reasons we only ran it to 5300 is i was worried about valve float much past 5800 with 17 psi pushing on the back of the valve.I would say just change the oil every 1500 to 2000 miles and make sure everything runs in it's operating temps and that it.I'm actually working on some new lobes for the hydrualics that are going to be everything a solid will be - a few ponys.At any rate this will be a great daily combo.And if you ever get crazy and want to take it to the track.It should make just shy of 1500hp at 31 psi so that would be a handfull.

[californiacuda]

What transmision do you suggest?

What do you drive everyday?

I know that it takes a Lenco to back up SERIOUS HP on sticky slicks but I think those production MOPAR Transmissions are also very good alternatives when you use your slippery and skinny lowprofile tires :lol:

[XcYZ]

...slippery and skinny lowprofile tires :lol:

While they will never dead hook, there are some nice high tech gadgets available to ensure that you can keep tire slip right around 10%. :D

[californiacuda]

I think Valient65's point is very significant. Regular tires cannot come close to handling big hp/tq in lower gears. So the tires to road contact(or lack off) is like a relief valve for the entire drive train. Even thought an engine can make over 1000 hp, with non slick tires, only so much can be put to the ground. So, the entire drive train only needs to be strong enough for what the tire/road friction can keep planted.

You are absolutely right. And I have the honour of knowing Valiant65 personally and he sure knows his stuff. That sig of his isn't a joke:wow:

Way off topic but are you guys, Bowtieracing and Valiant65 from Finland?

Oh yeah, Tom, killer engine, I love its looks! :hail:
