Got a grunt machine you wanna share? Show me!

I've got a crossplane V8 with max displacement. Twin turbos set up to have a HUGE amount of grunt up to about 4500 RPM redline.

2500 RPM? 550 lb/ft of torque. 4000? Over 1100 lb/ft of torque. 4500 redline? 900 horsepower.

Was designed as a heavy-duty truck motor that could suck down any gasoline it could find. 74.7 RON rating, running on the lowest octane gas in the game... And it's putting out those numbers with a 43983 mile lifespan, 26.9 loudness rating , 49.3 smoothness, 295 emissions... Though the problem lies in the fuel economy... 10.12% - 1.249 lb/hph... Eheh... >>

Got something that can beat this? Go ahead and post it! The more the merrier!

with such torque i think it will be economical anyway :P i dont think the % of economy reflects the final economy for example you could have 30% 1.0L i4 and put it in heavy car and economy would be terrible, on the other hand putting engine with lots of torque to same car with less % of economy could actually be more economical cuz its easier to move the thing. thats what i think tho idk what will it be

I got 2770 Nm (2043 ft lbs) @ 2100 rpm, but it was a silly engine with ~2000km lifespan because the bottom end couldn't handle the torque.

thats a pity man...I forgot what range I had on mine...although it was to get the turbo boost in very early in the power band and have it at like 2000rpm and at 3 Bar and that torque will go berserk
