I am laughing at Todd's statement -- not you -- Todd and I are friends.

Of course JCG or DSE will not build you a car like that for what Todd did. Todd did most of the work himself. Apples to oranges.

And I have no idea what you are talking about with your effing... road race... 1000hp comment... I was referring to Greg's comment about how well (or not well) that TTG did at Optima.

I am not against you here.

10-4. Just checkin ya. My assumption, sry. I expect cynicism from the older memebers here. I'm young and impetuous and basically clueless about the nuts and bolts part of all this. And this is my way or crash course-ing through all this. Welcome to the ride

yeah I got it. dont want the one hit wonder. I actually have a great mechanic that would probably faint if he saw all the ridiclous newb questions im firing off. I just wanted some feedback..

well wow, I really didnt expect to make my first big splash here in the stupid ls conversions portion here on the forum. i got way more banter than I ever expected on this little thread. Truth Is, I really do have a very talented engine guy that specializes in boosted ls motors, and he would probably have a stroke if he saw me blindly groping for advice here. In all your defense, I didnt really give any backstory or reasoning behing my question, and maybe it sounded unrealistic. I just simply wanted to know what everyone thought about which form of boost from which charger or turbos would be the most drivable and easiest to keep in good temp range in a variety of settings, but i've read every bit of stielows stuff about the nightmare that cooling his cars has become, I know theres no easy answer. But Keep checking on me, I have plethora of really cool parts coming along with a build thread in the near future.

I don't like power adders myself but a friend of mine made over 1000hp on an FE with a supercharger and drove it to second place in Drag Week in 2007. Something like 2500 street miles in a week.

Oh with a carb.

wow thats insane. I bet that thing drank bathtubs full of fuel. from hot rod drag week 07? car?

[makoshark]

1000+hp or any amount of hp in that range should not have fuel mileage in the same sentence, regardless if it has fuel injection or carb

I wondered how hard on his kalis really was and how much street time it got really. So a 1000hp tt setup like that stays cool enough to dd apparently as long as youre not pushing it hard?
