N/A limit?

I plan on being half that price in my build, still be streetable on 11:1 compression, and shooting for around 700 rwhp on 91 octane....in my 4100 lb truck......should be fun. I'm at $6955 so far ($1755 ARH Headers, $1000 Gen IV bare heads, $2700 Gen IV intake with twin 80mm TB's, and $1500 porting labor on the heads) I still need to pay for valves, rockers, pistons, rods, cam and assembly including machine work. It's adding up but hopefully not too far above $20000 ($13,000 to go). Wish me luck.

Good luck, thats more than I bought my truck for:confused::burnout:
 
WHY WHY WHY are these motors so expensive to build??? I don't understand why you can build a small block Chevy to 600-700 HP for under $10K and we start with a 505ci V-10 and it costs astronomical $#'s to get 700HP!!!!
 
Sometimes I hate that I love this truck so much.... I'm going to go buy some lottery tickets now!
 
anddont really know the benefit to a billet lock being a stock block is capable of handling around 3k hp
 
i did before you and actually according to all the research we have done
not one has ever been made

Well im not gonna get into who knew what first with you, but your research is lacking as there are a couple billet block cars running around, I know of one personally in Toronto Ont,

And there are plenty of advantages for a NA guy to go billet more so than a FI guy, a couple quick items are - Bigger cubes - Better cooling preventing heat soak and they are lighter as well,, all this is good vary good for a guy looking to squeeze out every last na hp from his motor..
 
I know that this John guy that just spent $130k on his NA build just bought the last new GTSR block which is suppose to be the superior block!! :)
 
How much would the new VIPER engine (640HP) cost & would it be a plug & play in our trucks or would we need to mess with the trans, drive line & rear end????

I need to make a correction, it's a plastic Gen V intake with twin 80mm TB's, not a Gen IV intake,......my mistake.

You can build a Gen III to that power level for much less. A good street oriented H/C build (700ish) crank HP is a $15k ticket.
