Got another HP question...
Anyone got any guesses on how much HP I'd get with a Ford 351w with nitrous and a single supercharger?"I'd take the sound of a supercharged 428 over any souped up V-TECH...anyday."

What do you mean by 'once'? Don't think it could handle it?"I'd take the sound of a supercharged 428 over any souped up V-TECH...anyday."

Depends on how much money you have to build the short block

Money isn't a problem for me. Not because I'm loaded.. not by any means, but because I've got like.. eight years to get this thing done.
Do you think I'd be better off with a 428CJ than the 351w? 'Cause I really want that supercharger.Last edited by RookieOfTheYear; 07-29-2005 at 11:09 AM.

A couple of years ago we built and dynoed a 434 inch small block Chevy that made 1900 HP. That engine cost $40,000. How fast can you afford to go. It really depends upon what you want to spend. Making lots of horsepower is pretty simple but it costs a bunch.

all i can say is that more cubic inches are always better when you're pushing for big horse power.... and to handle nitrous and a supercharger, you better be putting the highest of quality forged pistons, rods, crank in there... plasma molly rings... best bearings you can find, have a thick bore on the block to insure nothing goes thru the cyliner walls... and even then you're gonna be rolling the dice everytime you hit that nitrous... its better to not put nitrous on cars if you're pushing really heavey compression... unless you really have the money to do it.... i've seen engines blow on the strip where the heads blow off thru the hood and such...just because your car is faster, doesn't mean i cant outdrive you... give me a curvy mountain road and i'll beat you any day

Nitrous is the scrap dealer's best friend.
