HOLY COW! (turbo)
Might be a repost, but worth seeing again.

Now that is what I want! Might as well find a forged rotating assembly while you're at it. Oh, and about seven grand.

RE: HOLY COW! (turbo)
This makes me want to see 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times! I also want to know if their dyno numbers were bone stock otherwise, i.e. no exhaust upgrades and no forged internals or anything and the safety aspect of said setup. Now I'm itching and need to settle myself down with some supercharger vs turbo threads again.

Yeah, I am kind of curious that there is no mention of internal upgrades...but they look so professional I'm sure you could set everything straight while your on the phone with them designing your custom kit.

Over 700rwhp and you are wondering if the rest of the engine is stock?! I'd be surprised if they got past 4k rpms without throwing a rod if this was the case...

RE: HOLY COW! (turbo)
You could do a 700hp dyno pull on a stock motor... ."A pull" being the key phrase. I have seen quite a few 600hp pulls on stock motors. But every single one of them has turned right around and either changed pulleys ( if SC ) or changed springs ( if turbo ) before they made the next pull.
Kind of like speaker manufacturers rating speakers at 1000 watts, but recommended RMS is 75 watts. They hit them with 1000 watts for a half second or so and it didn't blow up, so they technically can say it was rated for that.
