Motor needs rods, pistons, oil pump gears and arp head studs. Thats it. As far as suspension, just get some good lowering springs from BMR, adjustable uca, lca, panhard bar, bmr rear sway bar relocation, and some adjustable struts/shocks.
Road course and lot of boost is a no go.
I would run the road course on a detune of around 650-700.thankyou for the help with the suspension.wouldnt a coilover be better than just a drop spring
Coilover would give you the option to adjust height also but if you went adjustable shocks and springs you'd still be able to adjust enough for your application.
Id get a roots style blower for road course stuff IMO.
A 700rwhp turbo road course car.
lol
lol
The roots style is good for time attack ect.but it hard to make 1200 whp it.
Yup hilarious.thank you for your service mam.i mean sir.
Depends on which blower you are speaking of for 1200 RWHP. Whipples 4.5 should do that.
What wheels are those on your ride it looks good?
Like stated before, a turbo car does not a good road course car make, A PD blower would be the best, but a Centri car would work well also. For 1000whp+ you would need Whipple 4.0+ or a YSI / F1C size head unit... As for the motor, you will need a sleeved block, billet rods, forged pistons, oil pump gears, ARP hardware. You will also need a fuel system, E85/race gas, and if you have an MT82 you will need to throw it in the trash and get something different.
I have to disagree with the turbo cars not making good road race cars. With a correctly sized turbo, you can have a good road course car. There used to be a guy in the dsm community(cant remember his name) that had a fwd 4cyl turbo car that won the scca championship in his class one or two years. Its all on how you set it up. Dont just throw a turbo on the car because it makes power. Do some research on the effects of different wheel combos, different turbine and compressor housings, etc. If turbochargers dont work well on road courses, why would they run them in f1 cars??

Why is a turbo a bad choice? That would be highest on my list by far.
Lower inlets than a PD blower, and more torque than a centri. More than that you ca do boost by gear and rpm, and customize boost curves with AR sizing. I'd think a PD would be the worst of them between inlets and a light switch gas pedal. Keeping the rear end behind the front tires might be challenging lol

Exactly.
Thank you for the support.you knew what was on my mind.i never asked if turbos was good for road course
What about the tranny.what options are there for our platforms.
T56 magnum XL. It has a couple different gearing options. JPC is one of their biggest suppliers. I would give them a call and see what options they have for what you are wanting.
