FS: TPIS Racing Engines - 561hp/490 ft tq LT1 for sale, Complete Turnkey Race Engine - LTCC, computer and more Options

[racerx]

Hey everyone,

I am doing away with my new (1 race on it) TPIS Racing Engine. TPIS is building me a new motor with more power and torque.

So this means a great deal for some lucky buyer

TPIS will be sending me the build sheet from the motor but here's the highlights of whats for sale

Basically you would be buying a Turnkey race engine

383ci LT1
561 HP @ 6300rpm
490 ft/lb tq @ 5700 RPM (Over 400ft/lbs @ 2800rpm)

The motor is VERY fresh, having only one race event on it. (USTCC-GT National Championship Race)

Included with the motor:

LTCC Optispark eliminator Ignition w/coil packs ready to rock and roll
Tuned and programmed computer.
Canton Road Race Pan
Ceramic coated shorty Headers and custom Y Pipe to clear the oil pan. (my headers are included, but I recommend LT's instead)

All engine front dress (alternator, power steering pump, ATI dampener, Electric Water Pump) tensioner as well.
throttle body
mass air
custom intake elbow
Used with still much life Racing Clutch (sintered iron) by Spec.

$6999.00
(shipping is NOT included of course)

Not only is this a powerful motor, it runs perfect. TPIS did all the tuning work. This is a pro-built motor, which won't have any of the Optispark headaches to deal with.

Motor is in car still pending a buyer, to make moving the car in/out of garage easy. Once I have a buyer we (read as Alan Blaine) can get the motor out fairly quickly.

Woohoo! LS1 time!

I did the LTCC and motor install in Kens car, I'd be glad to answer any questions. I also have a complete Hooker ceramic coated long tube header / custom Y pipe to 4" race Flowmaster exhaust system that would complement this motor nicely.

And BTW it's an LT4

561/490 is obviously from an engine dyno. What did it put down at the wheels?
Looks like a very cool motor....why ya selling after only 1 race? You obviously put a lot of time and resources into it....

Engine purr's very nicely - It put 464 @ rear wheels on engine dyno at Miller Motorsports Park.

TPIS (pro shop which built the engine) is building a new motor for the car, that is significantly more powerful. TPIS is a sponsor of my race car, and the point for that motor was just to run the National Championship race, and then in the off season install the new motor. So it's no longer needed. :-) Which means someone can get a 50% discount on a very nice motor. Figure new you could spend close to 12-13k on the motor alone, another 1k on the LTCC and coil packs, a few hundred on a new clutch, another few hundred on a aluminum flywheel, add headers and y-pipe and before you know it you're easily over 14K... When I say it's pretty much turn-key I mean it, we're included the programmed computer as well. So the buyer gets one HELL of a tuned engine too.

I figure $7k is reasonable for motor, and all that stuff going with it..

I gotta say to anyone that buys this motor will be very happy with it. I know Jim and Clay personally, and they're both amazing with motors. Jim has a amazing capability of find every HP you can out of a motor without getting into that danger zone.

Kevin, if I had a need for the motor, I'd be all over it. But, I have an LS1 and I'm actually talking with Jim about what I should do with it.

Anyways, good luck with the sale!!!!

This motor was only delivered a couple of months ago. I was at Alan's shop and we had to wait on the truck before we headed to lunch.

I recall looking at the dyno sheet and the torque "curve" is basically a flat horizontal line.

Starts out in the low RPM's around 400ft/lbs and just a steady smooth climb to 490 peak. Its basically a table. Its a tq monster thats for certain.
