What's your list? Non-turbo, even though it's probably the easiest.

Just curious.

And who would be the template to follow?

Me too.

He was being sarcastic, as there aren't any 1000hp blower trucks on here on blower only, nitrous+blower maybe.

Built 5.4 4v with 4.5L Whipple on e85?
:sly:

Probably get the basics out of the way.

JLP block
2.8H mammoth

Before dmp got his own dyno it made 940 ish blower only, but that dyno is known to show high. But we all know dyno#s don't mean Jack.

Who's truck is this?
I knew once.

^^^^^^^There are a couple but they run forged 4v 4.6 engines and are purpose built race trucks......lol

I believe that it is possible to make a 1,000 wheel with a 2 valve, but I really don't know anyone that has actually achieved the number. There is a bunch of 2.6 trucks that are making over 800, so I think it would be possible with a 3.6 or 4.2 KB with the right heads to pull it off. Jeff's truck with the 3.6 might even be there now, can't remember seeing any numbers on it for sure.

Octane will help cover your ass with high IATS your still better off running a setup that doesn't exceed the safe limit IMHO

I still pull timing on e85 past 175iats
High temps still play a roll on aluminum pistons and the cylinder walls

Were over 1000rwhp now and feel as pulling at 175 is pretty safe and not losing any real mph by doing so when temps get that high.

But this is my take and not a huge fan of just dumping high octane without trying to keep temps down...eventually damage occurs

1000rwhp is kind of a unicorn number in the Lightning 2V blower game. Jeff is close, as he was upper 800's on "low boost" (for what his setup will eventually run) and only 15* timing.

I should be wrapping up the tune on mine in the next two weeks, and will take it to a dyno just to see. I really don't care what that piece of paper says. I'm only interested on what it will do at the track.

I do feel however, that I have some of the best flowing 2V heads, so it's going to be interesting to see what it will do on the 2.6.

:rofl: Unicorn number. I like that. :)

MY truck can make 1000 hp at the crank w my 2.8 kb LC if I want to.

Gotta love it....."so & so COULD make 1000 rwhp" or "so & so SHOULD make 1000 rwhp when he's ready", or the third one is "I personally know of someone BUT I can't say who, and I can't even give 1 detail about what blower or combo"......yeah because it doesn't exist or they don't have proof and they're using the ricer dyno method of adding hp claims for different parts they buy lol

Brad makes over 1000

1000 at the crank easily, but I would love to see a dyno showing over 1000 to the wheels. a stroked/big bore aluminum block with a 3.6 KB is probably the most capable configuration out there to do it for an all-boost blower truck, but I still don't see it making over 1k.

Not taking anything away from Brad or his truck because it's clearly fast as heck running a string of 9.4's which nobody else has ever done before in a street driven L, and Eric's 9.39 was only a single pass, but I just don't see over 1k rwhp in it. Carmelo's didn't even hit the 800 rwhp number (came close but didn't hit it) and he's gone 9.58 in a very similar configured truck except a smaller blower and a non-stroker aluminum big bore instead of stroker SHM big bore. Doesn't take 250+ rwhp more to run 9.4's.

Just look at how much it takes to get from each 200 hp jump..... from 400 rwhp to 600 rwhp, Built motor, twin screw, fuel, etc. Cookie cutter recipe, but a decent amount of work. But now look at what it takes to get from 600 rwhp to 800 rwhp. Not 600 to 700, but 600 to 800. Tons of built trucks make 600 rwhp piece of cake. Quite a few make 700 rwhp when they add big intakes, crank up the boost, work the heads, etc. pretty easy as well. But only a handful are making north of 800 rwhp, and shows you the challenge to gain just 100 rwhp from the 700 mark. That's really taking the combos up there to their limits. Anyone who say's they're making 800+ rwhp and are on a baby soft combo are full of it lol. Their shit, mine included, is working hard to make those numbers. Not on the edge of self explosion, but working hard to earn it's numbers. Now you're talking about making that same 200 rwhp jump AGAIN. A bigger blower, bigger bore, bigger stroke, that'll easily put you in the high 800's and into the low 900's, but I just don't see it going north of 200 rwhp MORE into the 4 digit range on an all-boost, 2v combo.
