Someone's been holding out on us. Fess up Redder, what's this going in?

I would think that would make 1200-1400 hp, but my assumption that motor would need a bigger turbo to get to 2000hp, I believe that is a 70 mm compressor, in the link. But I don't know sh*t, so teach me. Precision has some pretty cool equipment. Hogie, I like this post, I am all about learning what works, what are the right parts, combinations, and real world field testing/experience. Keep the info coming

I've been waiting for this to pop up. The LSX block is perfect for building a light weight 1500 hp turbo motor. The block was designed for 2000+ hp.

It is going in a older fountain. That was setup for twins and now a good running single. I also think it has a #6 drive behind it. Funny because I read the tittle and thought I know of someone building a 35 fountain like this. Then read the article yep that is the one I know of.

That's pretty cool. Wiesman should develop and promote his dual prop drive. With so much horsepower now you could power up to 40 foot boats with singles.
