I agree with what you guys are saying. All I'm saying is if a viper motor comes with 400-500 hp and torque stock for 10k( about the average cost for a used viper motor).
here's one, best offer.
http://www.viperalley.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=7946&sort=2&cat=5&page=2
complete engine, transmission, computer, and harness for 9 grand. sell what you don't want and the engine is way less than 10 grand, or right at 10 grand for everything including a T-56 manual transmission.

short block for 6 grand. and heads for $750

complete engine for under 6 grand...

the other thing to consider is that a FACTORY STOCK viper block can make a ton of power by just adding boost. take a factory stock RB block and add boost, what's the limit? 700? 800? maybe 1000 hp if you're careful with it.
you'd need an expensive, aftermarket block to go over 1000 hp reliably.

A big block built to handle that amount of power with twin turbos would cost more then 10 grand.
Realistically whats the most power you could get from a wedge stroker with turbo? could you at least put 800 hp and torque to the wheels? What would be the limit and still be reliable and streetable. Also are there any twin turbo setups or regular turbo systems that will work with a wedge motor or even a hemi?

Thems crazy prices, I bought this late gen 1 405hp forged internal motor off this board 3 years ago for $4500 to the door, from clutch to ac comp, starter, assembly line motor with org oil filter and paperwork from mound road, $800 for a used correct 18k mile trans, $600 for a stand alone gen computer, $200 for a new gen rad, and used oil cooler lines off the bag. The only bad part if any is its 800 pound plus full dressed weight. Alot of room for easy hp with no cats and a aftermerket computer. Quote:

I know Scott(dizuster) made about 470 RWhp with his stock block 360 with a turbo... he was driving right through the conv with 18% slippage on the dyno... I'm not sure if he even changed the pistons to lower the compression any farther than the low compression it already had... and he didnt even have the boost up much at all... and you cant even hear that car running.. thats the trick part about turbos

I think they're very cool powerplants, but I'll never get past the fact that they just don't sound right. Nothing better than a good old fashion V8....
Its just the sound you grew up with... hell kids now days love the sound of a 4 banger with a fart can... I like the V10 sound... its just different

Yeah, I agree they don't sound well. Something as exotic as a v10 absolutely needs to have a flat plane crank to sound good. It would give it more of a formula 1 sound rather than sound like a 3.9 Dakota with a dynomax...

$12K for a turbo kit is horrible but people will pay it.
That's why my "kit" was a DIY "feets special" and came in under $3500 including the entire engine rebuild.
It's all about cubic dollars vs free time. If you don't have the time to build it, buy it. If you don't have the money to buy it, build it.
