1000 HP DELIVERY DODGE RAM TRUCK...Are you kiddin' me?

Most of the companies use their parts tucks as a tools. When we see a thread on the Cummins Forum documenting RevMax Performance Converters’ build up of their parts truck, we had to take a look.

They plan on building their parts truck and putting some serious horse power with it. This is not a work truck turned toy either. Choices were made many times during the build, because they planned on keeping the truck in service for deliveries.

Next time when they are late for some delivery, they really will have no excuses with over 1,000 HP under the hood.

The overhaul started in late June or early July and has progressed nicely over the past 6 months. This truck is a 2008 Ram 2500 that has under the hood a 6.7 liter Cummins. Because the truck is a delivery truck type, it is 2WD, sports a long bed, has a regular cab, but has only 140k on the odometer.

Thanks to RevMax’s 68RFE program getting a substantial makeover, this all started. The main goal is to become the fastest delivery truck in the United States. The plan is to utilize the help of RevMax for the tranny, Hamilton Diesel for the engine, and then source everything else locally in Charlotte, NC. When they finish the truck, they hope it will be in the 10 second range and have more than 1000 HP under the hood.

         Engine:

• Fire ringed block and head
• Carrillo rods
• Dynomite Diesel injectors
• Fleece Performance Piping kit
• ARP 625’s
• Hamilton Springs and Pushrods
• 24V girdle with 12mm studs
• 465/480 billet comp wheel and custom housing that are mounted to a Steed Speed manifold
• H&S Performance tuner with Custom MCC tuning
• Hamilton Cams 188/200 cam
• aFe Power Intake Horn
• FASS 200GPH pump
• Custom 5” exhaust
• PPE Dual CP3 pumps
  
  
  
  Transmission:
  
• Customer Revmax Stage 5 triple disc billet converter
• Revmax Signature 1000 68RFE w Manual Lockup
• Billet input hub
• Billet flexplate
• Billet input shaft

Why a 1,000 HP and not the 850 HP? The 1,000 runs different overall line pressure and line pressure settings. This built vehicle is about having fun and it looks that RevMax is having fun.

The major problem that they have now is the traction. While getting sideways is always interesting, that maybe is not the best idea for a delivery truck. With this kind of power, major rear suspension changes will be made, but they are limited for suspension and tire because this will still be their delivery truck.

They are running CalTracs and QA1 adjustable shows from Calvert Racing. The truck has a full roll cage, but it looks to be about it for safety/traction modification.

There was installed an SRT10 hood. The grill, bumpers and other parts were painted white. Even white Rigid Industries LED light bar and fog lights were installed. There is a rumor of adding a wrap down the road, but for now, all is white.

The interior audio system is being replaced. In, the front doors are mounted a set of 6.5” Polk Audio components, and 5.25” parts are mounted behind the seats. Two 10” JL Audio W1’s subs are being mounted in a custom box and it is being made to work around the roll cage. The power of everything is a JL700/5V2 amp.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Cup Race Car

The MX-5 Miata Cup Race car, will compete in a new global single-make Miata racing series.

Mazda hasn't  yet revealed the car's final specifications, but  performance enhancing upgrades to the exhaust, suspension, intake, and brakes to today's Miata look likely.

The MX-5 Miata Cup car will use a 2.0-litre four cylinder engine which will be locked to prevent any internal tampering and a six speed manual transmission. It is expected to weigh about the same as the roadgoing Miata around 2300 pounds.

The MX-5 Cup Race Car will cost less than $50,000 with all the upgrades so that the owners won't have to spend more time and money to add the performance kits.

The car will be fitted with a full roll cage and fire-suppression system.

A passenger seat will be optional while air condtioning will not be available. A roof and windows arent included.

Final power figures and exact specs for the 2016 MX-5 Miata Cup car will be out soon.

LaFerrari XX Will Be A 1050bhp Monster!!

The track-only version of Ferrari’s hybrid hypercar, LaFerrari XX will be revealed In Abu Dhabi in early December.

The LaFerrari will be a monstrous 1050bhp car, some 100bhp more than the road-going version. It's about 50 per cent more power than a 2014 F1 car.

It will have a naturally aspirated V12 and electric motor which will produce up to a total output of around 1050bhp, 60-something horsepowers north of the similarly track-only McLaren P1 GTR. It seems that extra power has been found from the V12 rather than the electric modules, which are said to produce the same 161bhp as before.

A standard LaFerrari manages 0-62mph in 2.9 seconds, and 124mph in under seven. Just try and visualize how the XX will perform.

Like the Enzo FXX that came before it, this OTT LaFerrari will be kept at Maranello, tended to lovingly by Ferrari’s own engineers and only wheeled out for eight specific track events held each year around the world.

Ken Block's 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR

Why is the Hooonicorn getting people mad? Here's the reason....

Block's ASD Motorsports and Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s RTR built the Hoonicorn over the course of two years using input from Block’s twisted mind and inspiration from just about every corner of motorsport. Gymkhana 7 should be the best thing ever.

• The 1965 Ford Mustang packs a 410 cubic-inch Roush Yates Ford V8 engine used in NASCAR, good enough to produce 845 horsepower. 
• It is an AWD (All Wheel Drive) and a six-speed manual gearbox dumps power to the pavement.
• The wide Mustang body is the work of RTR and Block’s own Hoonigan Racing Division, while the 18-inch fifteen52 wheels are shod in Pirelli Trofeo R tires that use a specialized compound exclusive to Block.
• Block has basically married a NASCAR stock car with a WRC racer.
