4000hp BBC comming soon.......?
As you all know there are several 2500hp Geardriven F3R 139 Procharged engines out there. There are also several 2500+hp twin F2 geardriven BBC's and BBF's. Someone has just commissioned a pair of gear driven Vortech blowers. They have been offset to allow the volutes to fit the existing twin F2 (10.5" volute) gear drive.
This means it won't be long before someone commissions a pair of F3R 139 (12" volute) blowers. Even though the blowers can support 5500hp we will estimate 4000hp due to other losses and engine limits. The engine would have to be 1400hp minimum N/A hp and lowish compression so I guess we are talking 632ci plus.....
Here's how it was done.....

And here's a twin F1C for comparison....

This is an area that is begining to equal many of the larger twin 88mm turbo set ups due to drivability!
Do you think we will ever see 4000hp on gas before the turbo guys get there?
