It says: "10857 cc DOHC DI Turbo 32v V8 Crossplane"

2923Nm 3048PS. I think there is some fine tuning possible. Dyno Queen.

Take a look in the engine sharing forum :) I'm at 3224hp / 2771nm but im right on the limit of torque. I dont think I'll squeeze much more out of it until we can get some bigger turbos on the v8's to generate more boost at 7k RPM and over.

i just made one that has 3031 but breaks because of to much torque :twisted: but still says it has 3031 at 7100 rpm and it shuts down at 5600 becasue of torque being to high, any tips on getting this beast to run to its full power? :shock: thanks

Let the turbos do all the work and do everything you can to limit torque - try decreasing the stroke, spooling the turbos up as late as possible etc.
