After installing upgraded turbochargers from www.timsturbos.com, we're back on the chassis dynamometer to retune for the new power.

The car currently holds a SCTA Record at Bonneville for Altered Coupes running 500" or greater, forced induction engines: 241mph. It only needs another 5mph to qualify for entry into the 200mph Club at Bonneville, which is a difficult accomplishment.

Thus, We added exactly 100hp and 100 ft-lbs of torque to the wheels, this time carrying it all the way to 7000RPM.

This is a 515 cubic inch Merlin Big Block chevy. Megasquirt EFI with 150lb/hr injectors, a pair of modified GT38 turbochargers, external wastegates, custom air-to-water intercooler.

This car is built for landspeed racing.

  • READ this is a 515 CI Merlin Big Block Chevy

  • Boxer engines aren't very good with twin turbos. Plus they are expensive as hell to build up. I know, I've got a Subie.
