don't get me wrong, its cool as hell, but I wouldn't claim "groundbreaking" by any means.

and I wonder, what is the HP per dollar for a build like this.

just seems a little ridiculous to me. but hey, cool to see any 4 banger over 1,000 hp

there has been 4 cylinder 1000hp engines for years though... dodge had a land speed car with one in the 90's.

well accufab/mihovitz has a drag car thats been 6.20 at 230mph with a 4.6L making over 3000hp, and there is more in the car because they've only had it together for a very short period.. and i believe its still on the small turbo's not the big ones.
