How much power can a steath ram handle e.i. a twin turbo set up? _________________ "Horse power is how fast you hit the wall, Torque is how far you take the wall with you."

I'm going to agree with john on this one and say when it comes to forced induction it's more a matter of how big your snails are.  |

I think they're trying to say that with forced induction, the last thing you would have to worry about is the intake  |

I'm going to agree with Bobby.

your questions are way to vague. it depends on the cam, the boost level, the motor, the ammount of money you plan to spend, if it is a race car, if emmsions are an issue or not, etc, etc, etc.
If you just wanted to get a discusion about forced induction, then great, but dude, ask more specific questions if you are trying to get information.
IMHO, I would run aftermarket FI, although a blowthru carb would be a fun project in its own right. |

None of us have that much money, we dont' exactly have much experiance with that much.
Really, if you where going to build a setup like that, you would probably be running aftermarket computer stuff, something like DFI. YOu would idealy want a computer that can do fuel trim per cyl, so some sort of SFI support would be wanted. |

The only dude in the crew with an ls1.
So far.
About the fuel supply, look at any fourthgen board and i'm sure you'll find better answers than any thirdgen board. Tons of those guys need to supply their engines with a lot more power than we do. Not that my 247 ft/lbs is anything to scoff at.... The supply setups will probably be very similar to what you'd need to run. Racetronix has a few interesting setups I think including a dual intank pump setup meant for up to ~1000hp. |
