1800+ HP on *gasoline* on a production 2 BOLT block and production CAST crankshaft with ported production cylinder heads.
2JZ what?

Re: Cadillac on the Salt
How and where do you tune something like that?

"a custom Cadillac V8 measuring 529 cubic inches (8.8 liters) in capacity, boosted by a pair of intercooled 88mm turbochargers, custom forged rods, solid roller cam, ported heads and oversized valves"
529 means stroker, and even if they offset-ground the original crank, that's still not a "stock" crank.
And considering what they were doing, they should have been de-stroking a 472.

It's not a *stock* crank, but it is a *production* crank. It's probably been nitrided and had a few other interesting things done to it as well.
It's offset ground *DOWN* to BBC journal size.
I think 1800 HP on a production cast crank is damned impressive.

472 and 500 have the same bore. Absent regulations limiting displacement, bigger is better.Atilla the Fun wrote:"a custom Cadillac V8 measuring 529 cubic inches (8.8 liters) in capacity, boosted by a pair of intercooled 88mm turbochargers, custom forged rods, solid roller cam, ported heads and oversized valves"

Also, the big block Caddy architecture has 4 head bolts per cylinder. Stock they are 1/2" bolts tightened to 105 ftlbs. I don't even want to know what size/torque the Spectre engine uses.

Fastback's link was very entertaining!
"Word is that the intercooler is so efficient that air enters the intake plenum at a frosty 39 degrees Fahrenheit."
That's fucking amazing. I want.

Re: Cadillac on the Salt
Did you see how big it is? It's as large as the block.

It's basically an ice chest with air passages through it.
