Let me get back to you on that one, I need to check with someone, first.
Ok has anybody(with the exception of the guys that have been to the shop) Figured out what kind of power plant were using for this monster? Hint-the diehard Nissan guys probably arent going to like it, LOL.

Close but no cigar, Actually its a World Products LSX "Warhawk" 7.1L (427 cu in) with some really nice internals. The original plan was going to be a pair of percision turbos, but after looking at the amount of room in the engine compartment, we decided against that idea. So after some research we figured the best way to go was Pro Charger and a F-2 seem to be the best choise for this engine combination. So thats it a blown LSX with a T-56 Tranzilla transmission and a twin disc Tilton clutch.
We do computer mock ups on our engine builds and have had really good luck in coming within About 10% + or - of what the actual horsepower on the dyno. We actually have a Dyno jet AWD dyno in the shop, infact it is the only AWD dyno in the St Louis area, so needless to say we do a ton of Suby and Evo work. Both Jon and Nate are both very experienced tuners and we have a pretty good rep for getting a really good tune up for a reasonable price. Needless to say we do Uprev and are a licensed dealer.
Anyway we are looking at computer models of approx 1200 hp out of that motor at only 15 lbs of boost, and probably close to 1500 if we really put it on kill.
I dont have any pics yet of the completed motor, Since im going to be out of work for a while, I'll call Jon and ask him to e-mail some to me, along with all of the engine spec's, as thats his department.
Lots more to follow........................................

Sweet, good choice on the procharger. With that much power it will be easier to handle than the midrange tq spike of a turbo.
I'm excited to see this beast. I've seen this car as a shell for over a year now hoping to be around when it comes alive.

Here are some better pics as promised, of the complete engine in and out of the car.
Jon just had time to send me a couple of pics today, I will have to get the rest of the info on the engine later.
