mine was crazy fast with the ported head

 

Target 3 weeks 425 whp

 

What turbo did you diciede to go with

 

PTE 55/57 Dual Ceramic Ball Bearing turbo

 

This great someone is actually going to build an SS to its limits. Eventually, I plan to have my SS be 375-450 fwhp daily driver as well. Only after the bumper to bumper is gone will I attempt this. I do plan on beefing up the auto though before I swap turbos and go into internals. I've built a dozen engines before but never a boosted inline 4. I am actually amazed at the power of the turbocharged 2.0L inline four can produce with just bolt ons and factory upgrades. That is technology for ya! Building a simple smog era Pontiac 350 would require a mild cam, intake, swap to higher compression heads, carb mods, and headers to match the hp of a stock LNF. Of course the Pontiac would have it beat in low end torque. I just wish more companies would jump on this LNF engine. I hope GM keeps building versions of the LNF, not only in luxury cars, but factory tuners and normal sedans. I know there could be better cam profiles designed and bottom end components that were not so expensive. I would rather have Ross or Diamond custom make me a piston vs. the Wiseco pistons. The cost would roughly be the same. My custom Ross Pontiac 400 pistons were only $650. Anyway, keep us posted on the results of your build!!!

if you keep tabs on the midget sprints, they are going to this eng from the ford 2300...so Im sure there will be a few goody parts to be had after they get the program going and get thru the experimental stages....

 

With that kind of horsepower, you better think about completely redoing the front suspension for a really big set of wheels and tires. The biggest tire you can put under there now, won't even handle that kind of HP.
Spin the tires, you lose. Gotta hook it up to go fast.
I'm real curious how this turns out. You make a good ginney pig[no pud intended] "Moon"

 

I haven't heard many good things about the spec flywheel.

Are you staying with the lnf trans or changing to lsj?

 

Horsepower will be nice. One of my buddies has the ZZP kit on his cobalt and he dynod 420hp/420tq on the mustang dyno at ZZP. His car effin MOVES!!!

 

sounds like my buddy with a s252 aswell, I don't actually know his numbers, but its having a few weird noises since its gotten back from zzp, I think the trans might be getting ready to go... I got to help install the zzp kit and its perfect lol.
