1,417 HP Naturally Aspirated
You guys check out teh current issue of Hot Rod mag? Sonny Leonard screwed together a 11:1 802 CI motor that made 1,417 Hp on 89 octane. Granted the motor was a trillion dollars to build, but that is just plain cool! He also has a 892 CI motor that made 2,072 HP naturally aspirated
Just thought I would share in case you guys have not seen it yet

yeah, when you read up on it, all you can do is just shake your head. Way cool stuff to be sure. In another thread we were talking about following the path less traveled, and Sonny Leonard is definitely in that category.

Yeah, that motor is just plain fawkin sick!!! I do agree....$89K for that matter does seem cheap (relatively speaking) But, I guess with all the Outlaw 10.5 guys making 3000+ HP with turbos, starting out with a 2000+ NA motor is a good starting point for nitrous

Pffft it only makes 1475 ft/lbs, thats lame I thought big blocks were suposed to make more TQ than HP .
Seriously though thats an awesome motor and its cheaper than a ZR-1 so its a steal in my mind.

Of course it will have to be a chassis car being that the motor is physcially about twice as big as a normal BBC LOL.
Ya put a few foggers on that with race fuel and you can go 6's with probably very little effort.
All about the $ at that level.
