This video shows the death Jeep on a dyno testing its 4.8 L iron-block Vortec motor running a D1 ProCharger supercharger and nitrous system. Running a 100 shot of nitrous produced 729 horsepower and 689 ft-lb of torque. Normally for the street the motor is setup to run 250-300 shot, which is probably good for close to 1,000 horsepower. So picture that much horsepower in a little metal shell with no doors or roll bar and only lap belts to secure yourself to the flat seats.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"610\" height=\"343\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bB3mGweVhFU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Update<\/strong> 6\/1\/15 &#8211; New video at the track<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"610\" height=\"343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3hy0oDAQ1tE\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/steelbluesleepR\/\">Jason Carey&#8217;s Youtube channel<\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lsxtv.com\/news\/video-1952-lsx-willys-creates-729hp-dyno\/\">LSxTV<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been wanting to post something on this death machine for a while but all the video footage was of it racing on the streets.
