Nick goes over the beast of a factory block, the L8T and our own Raceshop improved design found in our twin turbo build. #SEMA #SDPC #SDPCRaceshop #L8T #2000hp
wonder if you could put that crank in a lq4 6.0? use the cranks and rods and 4.030 pistons. would be a 393ci and won't have the piston coming out of the bore as far like you would with a 4" cranks😎
Why wouldn't you just use a 4" crankshaft? I'm sure it's a lot cheaper, and does the same thing. The lq4 with a 4" stroker crank gives you a 408ci stroker. Which is a 6.7 instead of a 6.6.
What could be done with a L8T Short Block and my 2014 LT1 in my Z51 Corvette, and maybe a A&A Vortech, for the street. Which Cam, Which Intake, Like the Holley High Ram but converting to Port from Direct Injection maybe too expensive to achieve. Thoughts? Plans? We need an LT1 L8T street kit badly for DIY Hobbyiest installations.
There's quite a few different ways to skin that cat for sure! Holley, BTR, Performance Design, MSD, and a few others offer a port injection LT intake. Running it full DI or Port or a hybrid of the two will be up to you and/or your tuner. Some businesses offer a secondary port injection setup with a holley that brings the fuel up as the boost increases and you can leave the stock DI fuel system alone (making tuning a lot less complicated for cold start/street driving). In all honesty, unless you're planning on going all out, a sleeved LT1 is more than sufficient and I have seen those make in the neighborhood of 2000hp as well.
@@Sdpartscenter Thank You I had looked at the LT1 Block and Crank with Forged Pistons and H Beam Rods but yes I cracked a sleeve in my Stock LS1 with a Magnuson and did not want to do that again, I bought the Iron LS1 Block from you guys to build a great motor that ran 140,000 and still going. Sleeving the LT1 with new pistons and rods just seemed like a lot money when the L8T long Block was looking reasonable. I need to check with a few local engine builders
Just curious. Would you put together a more street-able L8T Twin turbo with a low profile intake to fit under hood that comes in around 850-1,000 hp & tuned to pump gas?
There was one in the Gas Monkey Garage C10 in our booth at SEMA. We have a few customers with our raceshop L8T right now, some are making passes in no time grudge classes though.
@@Sdpartscenter Ok cool, thats great news, man these heads stock flow really well. Wonder if the iron blocks are close to the same weight as the 4.8 5.3 6.0 blocks.
Raceshop cylinder wall sonic testing indicates a maximum recommended bore size of 4.125” for naturally aspirated engines and 4.085” for boosted engines
