OK, guys build me a 600 hp supercharged or turbo motor.
What I am looking for is to build a 600 hp motor. Should I go with one big turbo or two smaller turbo's? Or should I get a vortec supercharger. This is also going to be a non computer controlled motor with a Holley 750 on it.
I need to know what compression to use. What cam to use. which intake. I know these turbo motors are making lots of power so 600 streetable hp should be possible with a 350.
I currently am using N2O and am very curious about the turbos and am wanting to learn more. Any info will be appreciated.

I'm not gonna offer a motor idea to ya cause it would be a 6 cylinder but I can tell you 600hp with a 350 should be very easy and extreamly streetable with a turbo,I say this cause my motor should make about 650hp with two less cylinders and is perfectly happy on the street(was out cruising with it today )

If ur going with a 350 motor, make sure its a 4 bolt main, have it manuflexed, Order a set of Dart or Brodix stage 1 heads, cam of your choosing and go with a Procharger setup. Vortech blowers are a no no

Close, man. It's "magnafluxed".
For a reliable 600hp carbureted engine, I would build a 10.0:1 406" small-block using a production block. Vortech and ATI both offer good blower units for carbed applications. By running a slightly higher compression ratio, you will be able to run a conservative 10-12psi worth of boost pressure. Ask a good head porter/builder about the advantages of running higher compression and lower boost... With proper secondary jetting, there will be no need for an intercooler. While an intercooler will help drop ambient air temperature slightly, there will not be a significant change to justify the added cost and fitment issues.
FWIW, I ran 10.79 ET's using a 383", 10.5:1 engine. I used a seriously WUSSY camshaft profile, stock rods, cast crank, and an old-azz used Vortech A-trim pullied for 8psi.

ahhh No a motor with a compression of 10.1 running 12psi will not only detonate but Blow up. Psi is limited to compression, the lesser the compression the more psi the motor can handle. Procharger systems are better than Vortech's. They use Intercoolers unlike Vortech and dont require any ignition retarding.

Six Hundred HP Boosted motor? That's easy, ask us for twice that to challenge us . Go for a a 383, AFR 195's or comparable heads, 9:1 compression, hydraulic roller cam around 224/230 @.05, and the base procharger unit will give you around 600 hp no problem

I have a 350 block crank and rods ready to be built and would rather do that than to get another crank and stuff. So would the Procharger with afr's and 9:1 compression on a 350 still get that for me?

oh wait.......you haven't even run your **** at the track yet
Go build yourself a few motors and then go make dumb statements? cool?

Sure, you'd get it with a 350, just a little higher in the rpm band. I just like the 383 for the torque increase, but if you've got the parts already the 350 will do it for ya.
As for the compression thing, I have built alot of motors, and since we're talking about a carbureted app here 10:1 with 12 psi of boost could be pushing the detonation envelope a bit, depending on spark retard, gas, and heads of course. Fuel injection would of course allow for greater compression or boost levels without detonation.
So I wouldn't be talking about dumb statements, even if he was wrong correcting him politely would get you a lot more respect than being rude.

"Ask a good head porter/builder about the advantages of running higher compression and lower boost... "
You will also run higher cylinder head temperatures when running low compression and high boost. Compressed air will raise temps closer to detonation than you think. Save your heads. Ask a professional porter, he will explain it to you as one did to me. My ex-employer is a turbocharging and fuel-injection expert. He has turboed MANY carbed vehicles as well. I am speaking from advice given to me by him.
You fail to realize that this is for a CARBED application. The only real fuel enrichment comes from the secondary jetting. It would take some TRICKY carb jetting to properly feed high-boost applications on a low-compression motor. It would be MUCH easier to tune a mild-compression engine using mild boost levels.
Procharger systems are better than Vortech's. They use Intercoolers unlike Vortech and dont require any ignition retarding.
Please do NOT give people advice unless you know what you are talking about. You might cause someone a lot of wasted money and excessive grief...

Anyways, Like a few others here stated, if your setup is right, you can run higher compression on pump gas with boost no problems.
On another note, there will not be any lag on a 383 12 PSI setup at 8:5:1 either, if setup properly. I actually went this route for my daily driver Z-28 and with 8:5:1 and 12 psi, one car I put together hit 500 ft. lbs torque at 3000 rpms.
I have installed several different types of kits and personally think the Vortech kits are very high quality. I personally would not touch a P-600 kit with a 10 foot pole, but do like the ATI D-1 setups..
Oh yeah, to answer your question, do some research and you should have no problems hitting those numbers, just takes some serious money and time.

This should be mentioned for all the folks new to this board. If you want to learn about turbocharging your _______ (fill in the blank), pick up Corky Bell's book "Maximum Boost" and "Turbochargers" by Hugh MacInnes. It'll educate you much faster than a few posts on the board

I've had a copy of "Turbochargers" since 1992. I bought a new one in 2000.
I've had "Maximum Boost" since it was released.
Im just waiting until I pay the GTP off before I take my turn to play...

They should really make a sticky at the top that has these books listed. It should also say do a search, since every week somebody asks the same question about turbocharging their Camaro.
Oh yeah, my copy of Turbochargers is from 1976, things older than I am. Out of curiosity, does anyone know if the newer printings have any new information? I saw one at the book store but it looked to have the same info but with different pics.

Hey guys, will the procharger P600B give me what I'm looking for? I found one for about $1800.00.

detonation or spinning the wheels on the rollers

that is okay because I have only seen 1 car spin the tires on the dyno, and it kinda looked like that. I though you were slighting me, but its cool. As for the car that slipped the drum, we just cinched down the straps more and she didnt slip no more, and this is why she slipped it and what the dyno finally read:

A pair of GN turbo's would work if you could get them. Otherwise you might want to look for 5-speed turbocoupe turbos from like 84-86. Those are what I'm going to be using.
