I want to know the details of this engine you posess that produces 934 all motor horsepower to the wheels. (and does so on pump gas)

Youre making a pretty bold statement. Id like some proof.

Its not really that hard to believe that it can make 1000 hp. Whats hard to believe is that it weighs less than my aluminum 2.0 liter, and makes that kind of power on pump gas with no forced induction. Which is what he’s claiming.

Maybe he’s talking about the total weight of the car, because a all Aluminum sbc or bbc still weigh alot. I dont know how much your engine weighs probably alot less then those.

ok, here’s the deal: FIRST, nothing was said about pump-gas 👼

its a Donovan 430ci all aluminum small block. It dyno’d a few years ago around 810, this was on race fuel. I could probably go more with aluminum rods and better heads, but thats dippin into non-streetable territory. This motor is still streetable.

The race nova that showtime is talkin about is probably only around 6-650hp, but does sound as mean as they get. 3250lbs going 10.2’s doesn’t take 1000hp.
