Wanna see what 286 feet of induction piping looks like?

Setup weighs 250-300 lbs alone...

Excessive? Totaly
Just done to prove you can do it, and probably not worth the effort? Totaly
730hp/710tq @ 13.5PSI? Totaly :P

EDIT: lmao, just found out this thing is called the INCINER8OR

Unless they plan on turning the boost up on that setup, they spent a LOT of money for < 800hp. Then again, I'm guessing if you managed to run more than 20psi on that setup the power would be completely useless.

Did it for the bragging rights... If we all had a couple hundred thousand to through at our cars I'm pretty sure there would be some insane ass 3/s... and supras :D

Must be able to hear that thing spool up a mile away.

Fuel system on that must be compiled parts from a fire hydrant.

nice find. it's good that i have something to point to when someone asks about doing this to our cars. :)

fwiw, i think twins are the way to go on a v-bank engine 10 cylinders or less. inlines are better with one. 12+ cylinders = better with quads.

Other than bragging rights perhaps, this is a waste of money based on performance gains. Just grossly inefficient.

Just grossly inefficient.
700+ hp at only 13.5 psi is impressive. That being said, inefficient for the wallet for sure.

Not really. My friends dad is building a set up which is going to make 900hp at 15 psi and not cost 1/4 as much as this thing.

Obviously for show... Pretty useless in practical application.

I think I'll go hang 200 lbs of ballast on my front bumper now 'cause it looks cool...

I'm assuming the HP listed is at the flywheel, they didn't say it was WHP. There are N/A LS motors that make that.

That being said, it IS a beautiful show car, and is very well built. Winning shows and impressing judges and ticket holders is it's primary purpose, which it does quite well I'm sure...
