All we know is we have a "stock engine with rods" in Casper right now. It was a backup engine.

We have a fresh stroker sitting here, but I'm thinking I might save that for Bonneville.

We are going to run at least one Garrett turbocharger. How big, and how many is the question. The Bonneville twins will put out roughly 1000rwhp on pump fuel.

I wonder what would happen if we ran a GT55 as a single ...

Was it originally twinned with a gt55? Idk how big that is, pretty dang big I'd guess but singles will put down more power if they can get spooled. I'd say go for it!

The GT55 was the big unit on the twins. It is large enough so that if will suck in birds, small children, and pets if you are testing with the air cleaner removed. We used to have 5 children and 4 dogs, now we are down to 3 and 2. :(

At full boost it sounds like a 737 taxiing.

:-D

Good to see it back out, if you put a tight housing on it, it can be done.
