800 RWHP is hard enough to handle in a street driven car. 1,000 RWHP is even worse. Good luck getting it all to hook up in a RWD car.


What really interested me about this project was the 4.5L block. I would love to see what kind of power and torque this would make in a NA application.
The car is running Race Logic Traction Control System and also R-Comp tires...

The 4.5L block is good but will most likely transfer more heat. We noticed a lot more heat with the 4.5L and had to upgrade every aspect of the cooling system. I would be more inclined to go with the 4.2L if I was to go NA. However, with either one you are going to be looking at over 400rwhp with the proper setup NA.
