Not mine and not in a car but thought I would show it anyway.
My company has got 2 new work horse air boats, one boat last year and one that has just been finished. The one from last year had nothing but issues with the 6xx + NA motor that was needed to make the torque numbers for running constant lower RPM'S for towing and hauling (as i new it would lol). Long story short, I was involved with a few others within the company to source and help design a more reliable engine that would survive under these conditions and what we ended up with is below. We worked with a builder from Florida that has ties to building offshore race motors and NHRA stuff (He has ties with Jimmy Prock also) and air boat stuff. This is a 588 ci with a blower shop 1071 all blacked out using an EFI system only using 4 pounds of boost. Makes 880 hp and 800+ lbs ft of torque and is only spinning around 5400 rpm, i was pretty impressed. My coworker just got back from Florida where all the initial testing was completed and as soon as the boat and second engine arrives the builder and tuner will fly to the slope to install the second engine and finalize the tuning for both using are fuel and conditions.
