1000hp Sbc Vs 1000 Hp Bbc, Which One Would You Go With?

The 4 link, if its a parallel, won't make a difference on the street and the ride would be way too uncomfortable and harsh. Torque is what makes the car accelerate quickly. If you used some kind of positive displacent supercharger like a, roots, Kenne bell, Whipple, Magnuson that develop max torque at 2500 rpm, your max hp figure would probably not neeed to be more than 500-600 hp before your tires would blow off(depending on gearing, transmission, tire height, etc) up to 80=90 mph. My 2 cents.

I dont need any more low end punch since traction is a problem anyway, that is why I want to go with boost from the midrange when I have grip again.
500-600HP would make my 540 as N/A.

The 4-link will make a big difference, the angle of the trailing arms to the street and to one another is everything, I have a lot of literature about that issue and will keep the advises

But lets come back to the topic, what benefits if I use a BBC over a SBC with the same performance?


Thanks Hannes

If your goal is sub 4 sec 0-60, build an engine that makes around 600hp and the money you save on a TT SBC/BBC will need to go into a traction control or launch control system.

That, or spend the extra money on relocating the motor to the rear over the axle so you can get traction!

You got your answer from people that know from first hand experience yet you still have an opinion on weather their right or wrong.

Nelson motors run $35k - $65k..

I such a system that expensive?

Thanks Hannes

well as a true turbo guy (aka;nut), i have learned a thing or two about them.
First the main difference between a bbc and a sbc is displacement. which is everything with a turbo motor on the street. A bigger cid motor will replace the lost torque that is caused by turbo lag. Lag is the tendency to be doggy at rpms where you have little or no boost. now that doesn't mean you shouldn't run a small block, it means you should consider the cubes first. a larger engine (cid) will be easier to drive on the street and will be quicker off the line when not building boost first. Turbos can be very fun on the street and build power that hard to beat. Its possible to build very large small blocks these days. but building them isn't all that cheap when compared to a bbc of the same size.
Just some things to think on, hope this helps.

There are UK systems that offer launch and traction control for turbo engines that can be had for around $2500. Add in the wheel sensors and other misc electronics and you can probably have a complete system for about $3000-$3500.

if you are installing efi ect. anyway, id install an autronic.. it has all the above fearures, and i think dalhems is the sweedish dealer...
