Wow, impressive...

I don't understand what the big deal is with that? A few years ago at TMS in the the Chevy tent, there was a 2.0 litre turbo 4 cylinder that made 950 HP. I think it would blow the ecoboost away.

No sound clips make me unhappy.


They said it was running a 750hp tune for the record lap and de-tuned to 600 for competition.

A full blown drag race fully built set up vs a basically production engine in a race car

There are companies making 600 rwhp with bone stock long blocks.

True, but this car is designed for LeMans. I guarantee a bone stock long block would not last there.


The music is supposed to die out completely at some point. 7:00 minutes in the music is gone.

I forgot to mention that it was supposedly used in Tony Stewart's roundy round cars.

Same block and heads with a shit ton of other work done to it..... Not the production engine just a race motor built off of a production engine base.... Still a cool car....

$3K and a 93 Fox could out do that! OK, maybe $3.5K
