Default A little old news

but I though some of you would dig it anyways.

Earlier this year Engine Masters ran a full build article on the engine we used in Casper to break into the 6's and I found they featured it on their website.

All and all the article is really good and even lists just about every part used in the engine showing we don't have to be the fastest guys with top secret parts.

Just thought I would share for those who may not of seen it.

Kevin... that is friggin amazing. That is why W2W has the rep they do. You guys produce an amazing product. Out of pure wonder... what would a setup like that cost a customer off the street?

They needed 100HP shot of NoS just to Stall up the car!!!!

We have had a few inquiries on duplicating the set up and it really depends on the exact combination for the customer considering our engine used a lot of employee parts.

Short block could be duplicated around 16k

To do something around the same level with tuning and other options could run 25k to 40k pretty quick.



And if anyone is seriously interest the engine used in Casper could be sold as it sits right now

So Kevin, do you have any more"spare parts" around If you could put them together in an old block and ship it to me that would be cool. About all I can pay is the shipping though. We enlisted military folks don't make that much
