400 HP build?
I just recently picked up a book at work on how to build your ecotec engine up from stock to 1400hp....of course they go in series from stock-250hp, 250-400hp, 400-600hp, etc. but they list every part number for every part that you will need to acheive the marks as well as how to install the parts......pretty interesting....and most of it is internal to increase combustion etc...and they use a TURBO obviously...
400 WHP or CHP big difference... 400 CHP i would think is very possible.. WHP forget it without a 150 shot or something crazy, but the eaton creates way too much eat to do it easily without anything added FI wise... turbo or SC swap would get you there easy

Well I'm using 9.5:1 compression pistons, and with the intercooler setup I'm using, IAT2 shouldn't be an overwhelming issue. We shall see. I definatly think 400 hp at the crank is possible on pump gas, maybe not at the wheels though.
OH, add water injection on that too, full cooling mods, drilled thermostat, head studs, rod studs/bolts, every single bolt on known to man, and a killer tune.
it's not going to happen with a stock m62. i don't care what magical clown hogged out the blower, or what pulley you are running.
you would proably need every thing in the motor rebuilt and ported and all that jazz... then you would either need n2o or like a 2.3 inch pulley and over spin the crap outta the s.c... and you are gonna need some serious cooling mods... but i could be worng.. i think its easier to just go turbo or change the supercharger
If your being synical I love you and join the party
If your being serious I hate you and I hope you get hit by a slow moving train as to not actually hurt you but just bruise you enough to feel stupid and for there to be a funny video on youtube later
for real though the cams are freakin insanely retarded like durka durka.
Check out my video on photobucket. I'm aware. The same cams he's gonna use I tested already. Unless he has special cams that have nitrous jets in the cam lobes then he isn't gonna make anywhere CLOSE to 400whp on the stock blower.
maybe an ice dragon?
maybe the abominal snowman, and a dragon had a love child?
BTW, going too big on the cam side is bad for any engine, regardless of build. it's like putting a .700 lift cam in a stock 350. sure it sounds mean, but it can't get up any hills. there is a fine art to picking the right cam/cams for a motor. not the "oh thats big, that will work"
i deal with people who have the mentallity of bigger is better on a daily basis.

yea, check out his video
and yes, thats really him.
AJ, how's it running now..?? I mean you've had the cams in a bit, how is it running..?

Actually, if you would have to rebuild the motor but it should be pretty attainable with 10.5:1 or even 11.0:1 pistons with the stock supercharger. Higher compression and lower boost will make more power and more power faster then lower compression and higher boost. Of course port and polished head would be inline too. Yes its possible but instead of just 'buying a turbo' you could take this route or wait for the TVS supercharger kit to come out for the LSJ since that would be easier, more efficient, and might be cheaper.

Now on race gas you could make serious power. I'd recommend a forged motor your choice of pulley and 150 shot nos if you want to have a fast street car.
