Ryan Falconer builds a 600 inch v-12 that in twin-supercharged configuration makes 1600 hp. The motor was originally designed for the P-51 Mustang replica planes and is FAA certified in that configuration. Ryan has been around for 30 years and has built engines for just about every major racing circuit. Unlike Torque, he's not dependent on one market for his business to survive.

Re: V12
Interesting website, thanks for posting it. Is Falconer's v-12 based on the small block Chevy? The Torque v-12 is based on a 4.5 bore, 4.5 stroke big block so it has the advantage of more cubic inches. With supercharging 2000 hp should be possible.

Re: V12
I'm glad that tubines have not been allowed in offshore racing. The lack of thunder in Thunderboat racing has cost part of it's appeal imho. Standing on the breakwall in Key West, the Callen boat would make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. And the Bud boat was just plain LOUD! Also, think of all the technology that's filtering down to us little guys from racing. Big cube engines and superchargers for instance.

No, not the Chev. Similar architecture to the normally aspirated cosworth v-8 but on a larger scale.
