I do know my cars and I have to agree with iamacarguru.
you can’t get 2500 hp on the street. 250hp yes even up to 600 hp but not 2500 hp unless your talking tork

You won’t do it with bolt ons. Call a race engine builder.
You’re not a real car guy are you? I’ll bet you’re either Steven Spielburg, Mel Gibson? Jean Claude Van Dam or that Vin Diesel guy.

im not sure you could ever drive around with 2500 hp, but to get it made in our dragster we use a 526cid hemi engine with a 14-71 top fuel blower and have to run it on about 25% nitromethane. it goes through about 6 gallons of fuel in 2 minutes. cost for the complete motor is about $30,000. but i still dont think you could drive it….just my opinion…

I love these questions that are so obviously a joke.

2500 HP. On the street.

Race cars do not have that much HP until you get to the dragsters that are running exotic fuels and huge superchargers. Not formula 1 cars. Not Indy cars. Not Nascar cup cars. Not Pro Comp cars.

First off Muhammed,what have ya done to beef up the tranny and rearend? Not to mention the frame. Ya sure ya want to do this to a rare car( not many left and recently saw one on Barrett / Jackson auction go for $350,000.( All original of couse with matching #) Course it was a convertible with air. I know Rodac builds engines for tractor pulls and they have 2500 hp + and have a lot of bottom end torque and run on nitro-methane with 871 GMC blowers. Go to your local dragstrip when they run top fuelers and see those guys and get them to tell ya what ya need to do to that engine or whether to buy another engine already set up

a huge monster truck blower, even those are only topping at 1700 hp…so you’ll be in for a hard time to get 2k+ hp
