I would look at Bull's build and the issues he has mentioned in his last few posts though with his D series blower. I personally would go bigger than the D1SC, just in case you ever decide to crank it up, you're not having to buy parts again. I've replaced replacement parts already and it bites you in the ass even harder the second time. Figure out where you want to be, and buy at least 1 step bigger so you will still have room to grow.
I haven't seen anyone build a car to meet their goals of 600rwhp, that hasn't come back and bumped it to 650, then 700, etc... When I started my plans, I wanted 550rwhp and passed that by nearly 100 and I'm still looking at adding a little more. A 750hp car can be incredibly street friendly when its done right, and that will make you want more. I think it's sickness.  |
Excellent advice. I would start with an F1C and pulley it accordingly. This will leave you the option to go all the way to 900rwhp if you ever get bored. The F1C should not be too much more than a complete D1SC setup.
I was going to go the F1c route when we maxed out the D1 on my new motor but my shop said they would like to do Twin Turbo using PTE6766 turbos. This will be a custom install/build and it will be less than upgrading to an F1 head unit. (they are really hooking me up with this!)
In all honesty, i am having a bunch of fun with the D1 at the moment. The torque of this motor down low and the power up top is pretty un manageable, and im only at 700/700 rwhp/rwtq. This is with the HP peaking at only 5300 due to major belt slip. The D1 is maxxed out
Im not too sure how accurate this dynocom dyno was however. Later in the week my car toasted the bearings on the dyno while working some tune issues. So i dont know if the dyno was completely accurate during the tune. I know my butt dyno indicates this car has a lot more than it did on the LS3 when i was at 715/611 rwhp/tq.
TT will put me over 1000 to the wheels
