Pennzoil Presents Dyno of the Week:   NRE Squeezes 700hp out of 474 CI… Naturally

Boost is one way to make a lot of power. Everyone loves it. But what I love even more than the surge of power from turbos is the raw fury of a naturally aspirated motor.  Typically though, big power means big engines. Big engines mean big weight, et cetera. Not this though.

The thing about the LS is that even though it’s a V8 and even though this one is huge (7.7 liters!) it’s still fairly light. That is what I like to call a winning combo. See Nelson Racing Engines’ naturally aspirated nightmare do it’s thing below.
