that looks to be a genuine V8SC intake....... so im presuming its a chev engine....(ie 305)
they have pipes from the plenums going down to the inner guards where they have the filters......having the pair of supercheap filters there in the bay cant be good.........
as for the 625rwkw, i'll believe it when i see the graph...





still, the car looks good enough

The car looks wicked, but 625kW @ the wheels is a huge claim.

8 throttle bodies + 2 big plenums = big revs/horsepower

So he can rev it 2000rpm above a standard LS1, without forced induction he would be struggling to crack 400kw at the CRANK! Do the math and it just doesn't add up.

625rwkw? I dont think so, that would make it a 8 second car.

She'd be powerful though.

Looks like a serious engine. 625rwkw might be a bit off though. 625HP?

Yeah 625HP is more believable.

625rwkw, is almost 800-900HP or something, not sure on that.

i dunno, didnt a 400cube windsor get 900-odd rwhp at summernats last year? If it did, this might be getting similar numbers

If it has 625rwkw, the standard pulleys on the standard looking serpentine setup are certainly holding up well....

In theory, if it kept the same VE as a V8supercar, and it was around the 400ci mark, it would make 620-ish KW at the flywheel. However they would have to be some massive heads on that motor to flow that much.

The Trick and Mansweto 1ENIL8 Capri ran 1000rwhp at summernats with an NA big block, so it's not iimpossible.

gthofan, where did you find this car?

and guys get over the whole holden vs ford thing, that car would most likely put any of your cars to shame, so why is it crap, if it is, does that not make your car crap?

i definately agree someone is mixing up their HP with their Kw. It'd have to have some kind of forced induction or huge *** hit of NOS to make that kinda power at the wheels.

yeh i dunno...

625/.741 = 843HP atw.

625 x .741 = 463rwkw

Even the latter seems a little extreme considering the el cheapo air filters :P And the hot air those things would be breathing.

625rwkw = a lot of air, a lot of timing, and a limit of fuel... Hot air would = the death of a motor with that amount of power.

i think someones pulling a leg.
