For 750hp, are they strengthening the engine internals or block at all? I assumed the rods would be upgraded for obvious reasons, but I didn't see a response to my earlier post....

WIth that much power, if the internals aren't upgraded I think your reliability could be significantly diminished.....

Let inquiring minds know.....
I am not sure enough to say. This is a new package and all the details are not available yet. I have not been able to reach Todd for several days, I'll try him tomorrow. As I stated before, the 750 program is a Race Gas program. I very much doubt it will be used very much at all. If I were using it full time and tracking the car then I would be more concerned. On pump gas it is more like 650 to 700bhp.

Just make darn sure you are not running the race program on pump gas...... otherwise the engine probably won't be long for this world.

I figured that out all by myself.

I agree, with all the extra power strengthening and upgrades will be necessary to deal with a number of potential issues.

I can't wait to see a list of all of the reliability upgrades they are performing? Again, I assume rods is at the top of the list, even for a daily driven street car. Traction will be a limiting factor to acceleration gs I would imagine..
