The engine is NA
The internal's are all custom Rousch built in their shop.
The trans is a stock 4EAT
There is no suspension, it's like riding a go kart.

500 ponies

I agree with porter. The only substitution for cubic inches is rectangular dollar bills. I raced cars for years and the HP we got out of engines was unbelievable. I did drag race a 355 CI chev with a 671 GM blower but for the most part all my engines were NA. I believe the engine is capable of 500 Hp with a LOT of dollars and the rightm guys building the engine.... IMHO. Its free so probably worth just that (nothing).....Jim

Still, I don't care how much bank you have, the only place you're likely to get 500hp out of an NA eg33 is something like NASA, or some other company with access to insane cutting edge materials.

If Keith Black can make a 1000Hp 500Ci motor than why can't an EG33 make 500hp with the right builder?





For the record, I don't belive it exsist either.

Good christ. Read this entire thread. The thing would have to have an impossible efficiency, be bored out, or have a redline that rivals motorcycles.

Summary; ISNT GOING TO FREAKING HAPPEN.

having an impossible efficiency is obviously impossible, and if it was bored out, it wouldn't be a eg33 anymore, and who in the hell said it couldn't have a 14000 rpm redline... if you balanced it just right, you could do it, but it would take a lot of dollars, and a lot of technology... both of which i think were mentioned as neccesary.
