2,000 Horsepower Supercharger Upgrade

[Jakenbake]

Do they have this setup for the GT500? If it’s essentially the same motor then wouldn’t it make the same numbers? I totaled a 750hp CTS V a few years back. So I’m gonna sit this one out.

I do believe they are saying the 3.8L gen 5 can produce enough air for a theoretical engine to make 2000 crank horsepower. I do not believe they are saying that blower can help a 5.2 make 2000 horsepower.

Assuming your 750 was at the tires then you were probably at what? ~940 hp at the crank. Your 750 was probably also a lot more steerable then 2000 crank. Check out Cletus’ el Camino, they do street drive it, but it isn’t like a stock (oem not nascar). Same with the blazer they take out too. Methanol, constant adjust of the valves, etc.

Yeah I figured those numbers in theory. So what has happened was… my V was around 670 at the wheels. It was an automatic, so every time I’d do a roll and punch it the thing was just lose it. Prior to that car I had a 2010 GT500 that made 666 to the wheels. No BS. But that car being a 6spd I could control a lot easier. That boost and downshift is what got me every time. I should of kept the GT500 in the long run lol. Aftermath below. Also that’s not my Raptor in the second pic. My boy I was in the Corps with. But I got a 2010 soon after riding in his lol. Ahhh to be single again

It's pretty obvious that the Whipple supports up to that #, not what happens when you bolt it on that motor. And TT don't even run close to anywhere near that # in the desert. Most I've heard of power wise in a TT is 1116hp out of a race big block that goes into a Mason AWD TT.

Those max power numbers on those blowers is implying that they can flow enough air to achieve that as a max hp before the blower becomes the bottleneck.

takes a lot more than a big blower to run 2000hp

When you build a 2,000-horsepower engine, there's no room for error. Every aspect of the engine and the supporting systems needs to be thought out. The piston needs to be designed correctly, you have to use the correct block, the right connecting rod. Even just holding the [cylinder] heads on, depending on the engine, requires the right gasket, machining, and fasteners. Systematically, the entire engine package has to be designed around that power level.

Even if you somehow built everything to take it, then there is the tire situation. Waiting on Michelin to make a 35-37" Y rated all terrain lol Michelin Pilot sport 4S AT.

Took me a while to click into this one because I thought 2,000 was too small of a number to be interested in. Talk about 3,000 and you have my attention. Interesting thoughts in there though.
