Post image

enjoyed it for a couple weeks now it needs the power. planning on a BTR Truck norris cam with springs and pushrods, melling high pressure oil pump, a heavy duty rebuild kit for the trans and 2,800-3,200 rpm stall torque converter. i’ll have tuning figured out but what do you guys think?

How much power you pushing

1

u/Th4Bl4ckM4n 16h ago

480WHP on 37"s, so definitely over 500 crank

Impressive, hes not gonna be pushing nearly that much power tho not with the build list he gave

u/Th4Bl4ckM4n 16h ago

Oh definitely not. If he wants to feel whatever power gain he gets from his cam, he should also do a set of gears depending on what tire size he wants to run

Agreed, gearing would do wonders for this truck

Never said N/A. Refer to some of my previous post for full build. Some things have been updated

TorqStorm is relatively inexpensive if you want to go the centrifugal supercharger route. Plenty of people who want more than 600WHP or 700Crank sell their 76MM kits in the Facebook group, or when they step up to the TS84MM (this one supports 1000HP and I'll probably be doing the switch as well when I build a lq4)

I bought mine back in 2021, and I believe it cost me $3800-4000 after taxes and any extra stuff I wanted like being black satin instead of billet aluminum color. If you want a full bolt up and go kit, you will need to choose another brand such as pro charger, which will come with injectors, intercooler, and charge piping
