For 2008 we’re going to go head to head with our sister publications Super Street, Import Tuner, Modified, Sport Compact Car, eurotuner and even Lowrider to see who can make the most crank horsepower and torque. Since every magazine focuses on different motors we decided to measure this contest by horsepower per liter. This way when the Lowrider guys show up with a 7 liter LS7 motor, things will be on a level playing field. Now to complicate things a little there’s a displacement multiplier for using turbos. (yeah seems a little biased to us too). But we’re not going to let that get in the way though since we hit up our friends at SP Engineering, one of the premier tuners of the venerable Nissan GTR RB26DETT, to become Castrol Syntec’s Top Shop. We’re looking to go over 1000 horsepower with this motor on 100 octane so make sure you follow the build in the magazine as well ask check out our progress at www.SyntecTopShopChallenge.com.
