AFAIK, this is the most powerful inline 6 engine ever built to date. Tested on an engine dyno, I should say. There is possibility of a few 2JZ's being more powerful, but I don't think any of those have ever been engine dyno'd, most of those are chassis dyno'd once they are already in the car.
BMW M power FTW!!!
AND, I don't recall ANY of Vidar Strands engines ever failing in any kind of race or event. His E34 M5 with 1190 BHP and a 2 speed powerglide also running 8's in the quarter. However, it's fairly well known in the circles that follow his cars that whenever he goes to an event, he normally does trash a gearbox at most every event. From what I've been told, he runs a 2 speed powerglide in all of his setups for the drag strips, and an built E34 M5 Getrag 280 for the track. Unfortunately, there is no gearbox that I know of that can take 1200+ bhp on a road course for hours of the kind of abuse that he puts the car thru, but the motor sure does take it![]()
