When you’re chasing 500+ mph at Bonneville, every component has to be ready for the challenge. 🏁

Our good friend Steve Morris Engines was brought in to develop a turbocharged 535 cubic inch Hemi as part of a multi-engine program with the goal of pushing a piston-powered streamliner past the 500 mph barrier on the salt at Bonneville.

See the full build details in this weeks Engine Builder Magazine engine of the week.

JTaylor Motorsport seeing some dyno action over at Xtreme Racing Engines to make one of the fastest Pro Mods even faster...

Jimmy Taylor’s Pro Mod sitting on our Mainline Pro Hub 6000 dyno… and the quest for more horsepower never ends.

There’s always more in it — more efficiency, more refinement, more precision. That’s what this level of racing demands: extracting every bit of power while keeping the combination reliable and repeatable.

This setup is already serious. But at Xtreme Racing Engines, we’re not in the business of “good enough.” We’re in the business of better.

Back to work. 💪🔥
