Just thought I would share this cool monster powered ute info with you.
At the Holden vs Ford show this weekend (just gone), Eddy Tassones VZ Commodore ute made 1899rwhp, which is a new world record. The car has a 383 stroker V8 (based on the old Holden 5.0L block) with twin turbos, custom cam and manifold using 40psi and C16 fuel. Apparently they backed off before the redline because the engine was leaning out due to the fact it was not tuned properly (they only put the engine together the day before the event), so it only revved to 6500rpm, and the dyno graph indicates it will keep going. Summernats, here we come.
The dyno sheet below was taken after the second run, the third run was 1898.9rwhp
Maybe I should have squeazed this bit of brute force into my LC instead of getting the original motor reco'd.
