As for racing it and running a time... how long have you got to get it on boost?
Does that bring this $30,000 3 litre into perspective?
if that doesn't slap some sense into this guy then nothing will lol

I like to choo choo my girl though, I just thought I would put things in perspective, 1800hp is loco lingo and would probably blow a 3.0 block to smithereens

If u want 2000hp start with a LSX block, some LS7 heads Lunati stroker kit and then some methanol and a big ass thumper turbo kit and some nitrous, that will guarentee you 2000hp and still be pretty unstable.
