Open to any good ideas please leave out the obvious sfc's roll cage etc.

if I had 1000HP I would consider seem welding everything.

Not sure what engine/tranny you have (or most likely don't have) but with 1000HP I'd be looking at a scatter shield if it is a manual tranny... if auto I would fab a scatter shield or at the very least put a kevlar blanket on the floor....

Motor plate/mid plate...

run tubes from your cage into the frame rails in the engine bay

Driveshaft loop..

if you are racing it in the 1/4 I would be looking into a parachute and wheelie bars.

I'd probably think about back halfing the entire car and going to a 4-link and 9inch rear... or at least making one hell of a beefy torque arm.


Do you actually have 1000HP.... or just another dreamer?

starting a build for an ls7 when they come out have the cash though just trying to figure out how to prep the car for the power cause i'll probably ad tt

Sounds cool.... I'm sure others will tell you that you can make as much or more power for much cheaper with a Gen I small block build..... but I'd still love to have the new z06 engine between my frame rails.

thats what i tried to say but apparently everyone thinks it's an ignorant idea. its posted under ls7 in the tech/general section

427 sbc(Gen1) and Twin PT76's will get you up and past the 1000-1500 mark easy.

BTW where in Ohio are you?

i'm in canton i like the ls7 for the wow effect

It'll be a wow effect in your wallet too ...

Im sure an modded & TT LS1 could do the trick ..

or a TT'd big block.

Yum Yum TT Big Block

Well if ya have the $$$$ go for it.

If anyone feels rich they can donate some money for me to twin turbo my car.

LS7? Damn I was thinking about the same thing. How cool to have a new 427 in a Thirdgen.

I'm only about 25 minutes away from you, so i'll be visiting if you drop an LS7/T56 combo in your thirdgen.

You could build a potend 434Sb for less then that LS7.

ask me how I know.

How do you know
