Russ Carpenter in the 80’s and 90’s coaxed 1,400 horsepower out of a 2.5 liter Daimler V-8 engine. Leyland said the engine would never make over 300hp. You may remember this engine from such cars as...
The Daimler SP250.
It had hemispherical head design, just like the big guys. It had nitro, just like the big guys. Russ fitted a nice supercharger up top, just like the big guys. This is the first run at Santapod, UK in 25 years. It sounds close to the big guys alright.
From a comment they made on a Youtube video, “ Engine runs totally stock engine parts apart from 4 bolt main caps, re-profiled cam and Triumph Bonneville motorbike pistons to increase the compression ratio”
The car could run 7.2 in the quarter mile. What a fun toy this is! (that converts it’s nitro methane fuel into tear gas)

Someone put that engine into something wildly inappropriate a normal sized V8 won’t fit into because of size constraints please.
