That looks like a monster... What kind of numbers are you expecting HP/TQ?

Expecting??? How about dyno numbers?

725hp @ 7200rpm
562ft @ 6400rpm

300hp/480ft @ 3200rpm

Umm yeah, that should do some damage.

I'd take that over a quadruple digit turbo system.

It's still not enough vs. someone who can drive it. The turbo motors just make too much power, hence why they are illegal in AIX in 2012. I was crewing on AI cars between the the guy who brought the most NA HP to Nats (Elliott Fisher) vs. the guy who brought the most HP to Nats (Chris Griswold). Even without Elliott's hub failure, I think the guy who brought the most HP (and a well setup car) would've won.

Chris beat Elliott at Putnam as well with E on new Hoosiers and Chris on older ones.

I don't have a dog in the fight, just reporting the facts. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

PS- That's a helluva LSX motor.

I'm just an internet spectator. I watched Roco's reality show and I was a bit stunned in the start of that first race when Griswold pulls on him. Didn't know that Griswold was armed with turbos but suspected something after that. But that's just insanity. Later Roco breaks his diff.

I doubt 700 or 1000 HP is going to make much difference in lap times for me. NA 720 is less weight and less stuff to break. And brakes less stuff.

I have no dog in this fight either.
