As a owner of a Caterham 7, im pretty sure that enginesetup weighs more than my whole car 😜 Awsome content Steve! Would love to se a full engine build 😬
Guys build an LS if they want to spin 7000 RPM and don't want to lash a solid roller or be out of pocket on day 1 for cylinder heads. It's funny though that the most powerful LS engines are built in blocks that use SBC style 4 bolt splayed mains without the y-block bottom 5th and 6th bolts vs dowels. The SBC 4.125" bore being the same price as a 4" bore block (unlike the LS) will keep it relevant for big HP builds, along with the wide array of aftermarket support. The LS is great for a Junkyard swap or a fuel injected simple build if you have one, but real racers still build SBC's.
For sure. I have a twin turbo 305 tpi setup that I've already built the upgrade 406 for. I also have a compound turbo tpi setup that I just got my 355 block from the machinest. I've got a 421 for an upgrade for that setup I just started and just purchased rotating assembly for a 462 sbc will be getting machined soon which will be the final engine for the compound setup. I love sbc's and bbc's of course I have a handful or so of those as well.
@@mctigmctiggy1475 In my opinion there’s a tipping point where it just makes more sense to step up to a big block. Once you hot 1000 hp the Big Block becomes more economical in $$$ per horsepower comparison
@@mctigmctiggy1475 all those billet block “hemis” are based on big block architecture and the old Arias hemis. Look at Frieburger’s big block in his model A over 1000 hp NA with zero exotic parts, a conventional mechanical fuel pump still bolted to the block and less than 500” put a couple of big twins on that with efi and 2500 no sweat
Great pc here. I still see plenty way sbc stuff than LS unless when its guys who want dependable last hp. Other it seems like I go to these back of the track events and it's junkyard 5.3 central and they push them to the limits and push head gaskets ever 4 passes or blow them up on a reg and just get another $150 5.3 block. Just drives me crazy. Plus there is so many more aftermarket and custom conventional style sbc parts that I'll stick with conventional sbc and bbc.
Could that blower inlet be clocked, so that the runner could be shorter and straighter? Those three 90's could easily explain the waves in the curve. They create pressure waves which move upstream, when the fast moving air hits the back wall of the bend. There's also a stream inside that pipe, that hits directly at the tangent point of the second bend, and bounces straight back towards the blower. One smooth curve from the outlet to the throttle body should straighten the power curve right up.
@@bigboreracing356 Another shiny part slapper.. Real tuning is a different game than swinging your credit card and buying the shiniest pile of parts you can find. It's about getting the best results from the pile you already have. If you don't get that, stop wasting my time.
@@bigboreracing356 There are several ways to waste money, one is slapping a pile of shiny bits together, and then chasing your tail at the dyno, or at the track/race when you don't have a clue how they work, or why they are doing what they are doing.
@@bigboreracing356 A bit of a geometry lesson here for you, fan boi. Clocking the housing and straightening the pipe doesn't go any higher than the existing inlet fitting on the intake. And the gain is already explained @ the first comment. Also actually racing that thing requires extra ventilation through the hood anyways, otherwise it just melts into a blob.
His question is a valid question that was never addressed to you. I see that you like commenting on others posts as if they came here to ask you, why should we value your opinion??
I’m putting together a single turbo 355 and will be ecstatic if I make 800 hp. Then I watch this video🤦♂️😂 I also don’t have the 💰💰💰for a ProCharger and efi
Use an s480 and you'll get your 800 hp all day long. Providing your block is built good of course. You can get into a megasquirt for under 1k. I spent more that on my csu carb
@@johndelta00 actually it is a 7875 .81 A/R I was originally looking at a T76 and got the 7875 instead and my choices were .81 or .96 A/R so I went .81 to spool quicker I had T76 on the brain while typing that
Now if we could figure out how to convert to a turbine combustion chamber instead of a 4 stroke. We could maximize hp per cubic inch. Oh wait...we have. Its called a jet engine. Do you hear me turbo guys?

Steve do you still have any of your stickers available from the early 2000's would love to have one that still has fish as part of it

“Honestly, they do a better job…” if that’s not an honest person that does good business, I don’t know what is…
Should be reliable. He will be able to tune it down for let's say no prep. Looks like some BBC numbers. Good job.
Wow that’s smooth, just seemed effortless
Damn... those headers are TINY !
Steve, your the best. A Legend.
I’d love to see the work it takes to set up an engine on this dyno. Looks like a long process.
Hell yea Big blocks are for dump trucks , this is Screamer for 400 ci
What a nice SBC (big SBC fan)
Nice ! Thanks Steve
Your the master engine builder…. 😎
🤨...Fif-teen HUNDRED Horsepower?!....GEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZ!!! 😳🥺😵💫
Would make a great no-prep engine
Great content thanks for sharing
Thing sounds awesome! Hell yeah!
Awesome Small Block

That's a nice piece . 😀
i'm sure you're asked this a lot but what makes you choose a procharger most of the time over other forms of forced induction?
Sweet build !
Hey man how much would a build like this cost? With and without labor if you have the info
This would be my choice!! Old school!!
Awesome!😎🤘☠️
I would take this over an ls anyday

Man id take my forged 383 sbc over a ls anyday.
I’m not a fan either, my builder hates building LS Engines, the younger guys are crazy about them though, and I get it but no Thanks
The fact you are praising a 383sbc says everything.
@@precisiondiesel225 what do u got a honda civic with flames on it?
I used to say the same thing… and still would if I wanted a solid NA motor to run around and daily at 4-450 or so.
What advantages does a 383 SBC have over a lsx?
Now if we could figure out how to convert to a turbine combustion chamber instead of a 4 stroke. We could maximize hp per cubic inch. Oh wait...we have. Its called a jet engine. Do you hear me turbo guys?
*Steve, search out "MBE SB CHEVY BILLET 4.400" and let us know what you think about those heads.*
That head is for NA applications and nitrous. Not forced induction.
Some exotic heads and bigger headers and we could be 2,000 HP.
