Re: Who says an aluminum bowtie can't handle big power
Wow - I'd like to have the parts list recipe of that one so I have something to follow for my aluminum bowtie motor. Let me know if you can get any more info on it. I am still in the parts gathering stage.

They are only rated to around 750 I believe.
Not a risk I would want to take personally.

I thought it was interesting that there weren't any intercoolers on the mix.

Re: Who says an aluminum bowtie can't handle big power
It is probably run on 100% alcohol. That's why and intercooler is not needed. They can trun up the boost fairly high with alcohol to get the power out of it. Also with the rpms they are running you can bet they are using an odd-fire setup. The block they are using looks like the heavy duty one that GM makes (10134371) which has the screw in freeze plugs. These blocks are much stronger than the 14011067 or 14011069 aluminum blocks.
Some big bucks spent here.

Looks like an air/water intercooler to me. Looks like the bungs are at least -10 on the heat exchanger.

Re: Who says an aluminum bowtie can't handle big power
Wow. Alcohol engines don't need nearly the cooling system that gas engines do. An instructor I had has a 3,000 hp blown alcohol dragster, and they need to start it with gasoline since so little heat is generated.
