Rich raises the bar on the 7/9 LS Turbo game - 901 RWHP!!!

Thank you all for the kind words. Crazy how a $300 blown up Volvo wagon that was bought and built as a joke has gotten so out of hand now. I have had tons of fun, fell in love with Volvos and met a lot of really cool people along the way. Now where do we go from here? lol
 
Put a B230 back in and make same whp

Old school, try to make it from a 1.6L B16 pushrod motor.

EDIT: Although really, sticking a B230 back in (the cargo area) could help with dyno traction issues.

"Real money' is a rather flexible term, but just based on Denmah's description in the video, there aren't a lot of high dollar parts in the mix. I'm assuming the 6.0 'smoky ring' engine doesn't have many shiny $$$ parts in it, probably a stock, possibly unopened bottom end, certainly a cam swap and valve springs at a minimum.

And the turbo isn't super exotic either, it's just big (compared to what you'd put anywhere near a Volvo motor.

Turbos can replace displacement, but they can't replace displacement with a turbo.
 
I saw this car (and creepily introduced myself to Rich) while it was still 5.3 powered, and I was shocked then.
900whp is incredible.
Congrats to everyone involved.
 
Now where do we go from here? lol

1000RWHP or bust!!! :omg:

Any chance you have a timeslip with the 901 combo?

Again, super impressive Rich.

I'm not even going to speculate on cost as it really depends on ones pocketbook / resourcefulness as to what affordable is.
