For one he mentioned-alot of nitrous
Two-those 871 blowers are putting out some massive amounts of air
Three-He's running blowers, not turbos, so the air is there right off the bat, no lag or smoke waiting for a turbo(s) to spool

That thing is sick and makes some clean hp.

I didn't know engines like that existed!
He should put two of those things in an offshore racer and see how it runs.

Incredible

That is ungodly. At first I thought it was just a guy with alot of family money, but this guy isn't any different than most of us here, he works hard, always tinkering, good stuff.

That thing is CRAZY !! But what I want to know is the weight of that v24 because it does have the cool factor. But is the power to weight ratio?

I wanna see that stuffed into a Prius at the next Grand National Roadster show.

Big Mike was acting waay too casual around those open belts. They just love to snack on beards and shirt tails and fingers, then eat your arm or face for lunch.

It is bigger and heavier than a Prius. I was also thinking that too about how he was just sticking hand in by the blower and belts everywhere. I was scared But that thing just rocks I turned up the sound on the computer and my wife was in the next room an started freaking out "What the hell is that noise" LOL But it was music to my ears.
