When you spend the time and money putting a nitrous system into your vehicle, you expect it to work at peak efficiency. This can only be done if you get your bottle pressure to the right spot.

The turbo kit added 192 horsepower for a total of 449. Torque also jumped up 190, for 474 ft-lbs of torque at the wheels. Figuring a 15% drive train loss, this kit made about 515 horsepower and almost 550 ft-lbs of torque at the flywheel.
Check out the video we shot of the dyno run on our 400 cubic inch Dart SHP engine. With the help of plenty of COMP and ZEX parts, we made over 700 horsepower out of this rat motor.
This haul-ass crate engine is going into our Project Grandma build car. On the first two parts of the Edelbrock 555ci crate engine build, we featured the build up of the short block and the long block. For our third and final installment, the big block hits the engine dyno, equipped with some Edelbrock laughing gas. Come look inside to see how much our 555 made on and off the nitrous.
The late model Mustang that rings a bell in any blue oval enthusiast’s mind is the 2003-2004 Mustang Cobra. At 390 factory-rated horsepower, the supercharged 4.6-liter 4-valve modular engine produced more power than any other late model Mustang in history at the time. For many though, this power level is only the beginning. The goal for our Snake was simple. 650-700 rear wheel horsepower, a conservative tune-up, and ROCK solid reliability. See how we did it.
