I wonder what is the long term reliability of this engine.

Are the dynos and runs still to come? Or am I missing the newest vids?

Don’t wreck this thing!

Think it’ll do low 7s?

Mickeytuned M3 is making 1504 whp and went 7.98
Dropping that much time is pretty hard. Single turbo, PI, Pure transmission, cams, EcuTek. I think they said stock suspension.

I can see them beating that with a lot of weight reduction and more aggressive cams, possibly a different transmission.

Can you share that amount? I am really curious. I mean, heck, I don't know how reliable and good these new parts are but they look way more refined with a better look and a better finish.

Great build here guys. Minus the rap music that was really out of place in the vids, I really enjoy seeing the progress. And I like rap music a lot. Just felt it really didn't belong here or add anything to the video. Had it not been in the sound track I would've like the presentation even better. That S-58 sure is a powerhouse.

Wow that's wild. I'm more excited about the 9k redline than that insane amount of power, but I would've wanted to strengthen the engine in all the same ways, 1500hp or not. Absolutely awesome build.
