Andy Coles from Spot On Performance in Brisbane Australia has built a very powerful drag car he can drive on the street. At the core is a 1972 Holden LJ Torana with a twin-turbo Chevy V8 making 670 horsepower at the lowest power setup.<\/p>\n

The power comes from a 427 cubic-inch V8 made from a Chevrolet LSx block (probably LS7), custom JE forged LS7 pistons, Oliver connecting rods, Callies Performance crankshaft, Spot On custom Comp camshaft, and Mast Motorsports heads. The forced induction parts are Garrett GTX42Rs turbos, TiAL housings, and TurboSmart ProGate45 wastegates. The turbos are setup right now to produce only 6 psi of boost. The engine setup has the potential to make 1,300 RWHP on full boost, good tune, and 117 octane race fuel.<\/p>\n

Another very cool item is there is no water pump running directly off the engine. Instead it is an electric pump from Davies Craig to run Liquid Intellegence, a synthetic water-less nano coolant through the engine.<\/p>\n

To drive the Torana on the streets all Andy has to do is remove the parachute and the slicks and bolt on the street exhaust.<\/p>\n
