Nasty Twin Blown Big Block Chevy Model T

This is Nas T Too, the second sick model T built by Ron Ginn out of New Mexico. 572 cubic inches of twin huffed Chevy put out over 1000 HP at the wheels! Check out the whole story and more coverage of the 2008 Goodguys Southwest Nationals in Scottsdale, AZ at http://www.MyRideisMe.com

@jovr6 Any car modified for more power needs more attention that a bone stock one. It's not just cars with superchargers running alot of boost. In fact, the only time boosted engines are heavily stressed is under heavy boost. Most of the time they're actually under less stress than even a mildly built engine. So I'm not to sure what you're getting at.

And yeah, this old T is pretty darn cool.

@177SCmaro that was just an expression that tuned car with high boost need more attention than bone stock one. I'm running an Audi A4 quattro, my wife have a BMW X3 , and the "job" pick up is a 2011 silverado 2500HD who is a piece of shit..( engine failure, lot of rattle inside, and yeah, rust on the bumper, and worn chevy emblem ) .But that doesn't mean that I don't like this video, it's a damn pretty cool set-up, I comment on here just because people compare this project to a buggati veyron

I think people have the wrong idea about cars like this one. People dont build things like this to fast, practical or fuel efficient, they do it because they're a hobby, fun to build and own, and people like seeing them at car shows. Thats about it.

@jovr6 If you really think that a supercharged chevy engine needs rings every time you hit the throttle hard you must not have much, if any, experience with them.

[jovr6]

you guys can't compare everyday drivable veyron engine that can reach 430 km/h vs supercharged chevy block who need piston and rings on every time he hit the throttle too hard.

[177SCmaro]

To be clear, I'm not suggesting this supercharged chevy engine is superior to the Veyron's W16 in every comparison. I'm looking at it from an engineering standpoint of two main standards: comparing the weight and external size of the W16 to it's HP output. Then looking at the weight and external size of this supercharged chevy to it's output, the chevy, surprisingly, is the clear winner. The W16 has it;s place, but overall I've found it to be bulky, heavy, and overly complex.

@darkeyce02 You continue to demonstrate your lack of knowledge on this subject. Roots superchargers are excellent at creating low end to mid range boost as well as crisp throttle response and broad torque curves. Also it clearly says in the description this motor is over 1000HP at the wheels, so obviously parasitic loss from the blower(s) isn't a big factor on high rpm horsepower, which is likely appox. 1200HP at the crank same as the W16. BUT the chevy is a smaller, lighter engine.

@177SCmaro the engine is pointless without the car. who cares about the engine if it cant put it to the ground. why dont you understand that.the w16 is superior in every way. the v8 wouldnt have nearly enough power at high end speed the veyron reaches. thats why it has 4 turbos.if you take in account the extreme weight difference the veyron is astonishing compared to this car, cause it could never do it. even with the extreme weight difference, the engine cant do it with those massive power hogs
