"We’re designing the engine to be able to handle about 800 horsepower.”

"We replace a rather fragile OEM connecting rod with our Saenz I-beam rod that is rated at over 800 hp,” Wilson says. “It is also more than 100 grams lighter than the OEM rod. The pistons are replaced by JE forged pistons, which that have a thicker top, thicker pin boss area and a tool steel wrist pin. We offer replacing the OEM sleeve with a ductile iron sleeve for larger bore size, and use an o-ring for additional cylinder sealing."

"These new turbocharged, direct injected engines can make 800-1,000 hp – piece of cake,” Wilson says.
