I quoted for a 800hp drag engine for South Africa in a MK2 escort he thought it was too much money and spent double it trying to achieve it and had too small a power band and went slower as always fell off boost in the launch /1 gear power management.
A 1300hp engine is very cool 😎

Hence why for the most part....it would really need to be an auto. Although the Lixxu car is on a Jericho/Lenco/Liberty style box. Also very light too which would help.
it'll certainly be interesting to see what it does at the strip. It should be very deep into the 8's at 170+ with that sort of power....or perhaps a little better.
