    On a full all out bottom end build on a L67 block, whats the max horsepower this block can handle being turbo?
    Not your average grocery getter, but theres always at least two things on the list.... 10w-30 Castrol Titanium and Shell 91 premium mixed with a lil 100 octane racing gas......

    600+ whp.

    Or in other words, basically useless horsepower at that point.

    Stock 140k l67 shortblock.
    Dyno'd at 608 whp/570 ftlbs @ 5500 at 18 psi

    We finally hit 26 psi last year...trapping 132 while being gentle in 1st and 2nd.

    We got 9 passes....

    Then the trans broke for the 12th time.

    from some rough math at the point we broke the trans we should have been close to 750 wheel horsepower and almost 900 at the crank....
