What the hell?!?!?!?!?

I suppose it runs fine part throttle, but has this thing even been at hard WOT, under a full load to measure its power? The "new-ness" of the engine component appearances suggests a resounding "no" to that question and I would certainly like to see the fuel delivery system in that car.... I think I'd have to see that one in full action to believe it...no?

Regards,
Phil- DTE

Looks like it has never been fired up. ZERO discolouration on any component - even the tailpipes are carbon free with zero residue.

Turbos (notice no heat cycling)

It looks like they at least fired up a prototype. It appears to have a bit of turbo lag, however.

Hmmmm, interesting.... I wonder if they have lit it up in this car's chassis, or just on the engine dyno itself?? Those environments are two very different things..

I didn't know an LS1 even had enough lung to blow that much air to spin those whirly gigs......
