Any really fast turbo cars?

You'll make the power, you could probably break the 1000hp mark with a nice cam, lots of boost and e85. Stock block and internals. LS guys can make 800 to the wheels with stock cam, 25+ psi from ebay turbos (chinese), and c16. With all that power and torque the weight isn't as important. You'll probably save two tenths from 500 lbs.

I have a 10:1 451BBM blow through carb setup with a BW S475 T6 turbo.. Realistic 700+ crank HP at 6PSI on pump 91-93. I am guessing enough power to split the block around 8-9PSI and meth' injection. I have an entire parts/price list if necessary, my build is also a rear mount so don't mind me, I am just having fun.. Like many have said, it is difficult to plant any more power, especially in a street car with D.O.T. Drag Radials. You are going to need a serious chassis to handle over 1,000HP; but I am sure you are well aware of that. I was also going to go E85 and run 10+PSI, it is just difficult to see it being around much longer on the horizon. Many E85 stations have closed, and I don't see E85 making a come back any time soon. Meth injection along with Pump Fuel gives similar results to C16. It is also very cheap and requires no special fueling stations. Luckily, with EFI you can tune for E85 and Gas on the go. Us carb' guys don't have that luxury.

There is nothing stock about this build. It is a purpose built completely forged, main studs, head studs, custom pistons, custom cam, aftermarket heads......Its as solid of a gen3 motor as you can build. My friends shop is building the turbo kit. These guys at SNL Performance just finished a 1444 rwhp CTSV last month.

We are going to give this a shot. It is the 4 link setup from control freak.

Interesting 4 link coil over set-up

My chassis guy said "I am not sure it won't work......but I am not convinced it will either"

We are going to give it a shot. I wont have to back half the car with this setup.....if it works....

The only thing I would do different with the rear suspension shown is maybe do a watts link instead of the track bar.

For a drag racing application the added complexity of a Watts isn't worth it.

Is this an equal length setup? Where are the chassis pickup pts? There seems to be virtually no adjustability to it...IC appears fixed unless new brackets are fabbed at all link locations. That panhard is also the absolute WORST thing I've ever seen from a structural design standpoint. Appears little thought went into its design, other than making a '4 link' fit a stock chassis w/ minimal effort.

Its my understanding this is going to be a pro touring style street car rather than a drag car. I dont see the complexity of a watts link either.no more difficult than the panhard bar really.

Exactly

'4L80' and 'hooking 1000rwhp' doesn't exactly conjur images of corner carving, nor just satisfying pro-touring 'style'.

I dont see the complexity of a watts link either.no more difficult than the panhard bar really.

I'm not sure how more parts, more pivot points, more fabrication, and more $ doesn't qualify as more complex, but to each their own.

I looked into building a TA for my car, but decided against it when I chose to keep manual steering and brakes. I think the OP should maybe consider this option as well...

The only way to make the car do exactly what I want would be to put IRS under the back of it. So this setup is an attempt to hook at the track and still drive down the road nicely. It's about 15k to do a bullet proof IRS.

I'll duck now as the old timers start to throw things ;)

So you want to hook 1000rwhp, autocross, road race, and ride like a Cadillac?

Realistic goals are nice. Good luck.

My goals are plenty realistic. Technology is my friend.

I never said I wanted to autocross and road race.....but now that you mention it, that sounds like fun too

 

[Herr_Poopschitz]

Technology is my friend.

Then why are you looking at using the poorly/non-engineered piece in that CAD screenshot? Just curious...as a reminder to address the issues I posted above....

Every one is entitled to their opinion. Truth be told it's MORE suspension than I need to hook the car. When you can control your horsepower and torque in 50 rpm increments, it's a lot easier than building a big block that has to leave at 5000 rpm with the wheels up to run a number. I have lots of respect for the old ways. It's just a shame a lot of people think their way is the only way.

Is it? I dont know. Just watched the episode of dream car garage last Tuesday after GYC. It was the episode where he built the green supercuda built to go up against the enso Ferrari. It has a 1000 hp twin turbo viper motor. They spared no expense building the car. Custom everything built to the hilt. Independent suspension. Big fat tires. The works. He went to the track and it wouldn't hook for ****.

This is the Supercuda he's talking about... It's essentially all Viper drivetrain... It did have a hard time hooking up but it also managed 208mph! That's carving a serious hole with not a lot of aero!!

Launching a manual with 1000 horsepower is pretty much impossible in a street driven car

I'm just curious. How may 9.50 second or quicker cars with street tires have you tuned at the drag strip? What type of shocks? SLR? What did they run in 60/330/660?
