It says 2300 tons, which is about 4,600,000lbs i believe. soooo it has 42lb per horsepower. compared to say, a stock 5.0 mustang that weigh 3000lbs with 225hp stock, at 13.3lb per hp..... if this math is off, i dropped out of high school so ya... i blame that. and boredom.

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

damn thats a big ass engine lol
