Default kinda different FI idea

what if someone built a 333ci high revving motor (4.030 bore 3.268 stroke) put on some l92 heads a single plane and a procharger im thinking this could be a pretty insane motor. we all know prochargers and single planes like rpms so why not build a motor to turn them? im thinking with a custom cam this could be in the 1000rwhp range

To take advantage of the rpm potential, you'll need a custom crank with extra counterweight, dry sump and a very high dollar valve train. It could certainly work, but there are easier and more cost effective ways of getting the same result.

My experiance so far has been that pushing coolant is more about High RPMs than hp. That and you would need a thick deck head (not L92).

With a big, heavy car you are going to want torque around town, which means bigger cubes, then you use the centri supercharger to make it feel like your motor grows as rpm goes up.

Why do something just to be different, unless there's a real payoff? It's rpm that's superhard on motors, not boost.

Just my .02.
