This Twin-Turbo V8 Crate Engine Makes 1,200 HP Without Race Fuel

  • Nelson Racing’s new crate engine makes 1,200 horsepower on regular 91-octane pump gas.
  • The 427.7-cubic-inch LS-based V8 uses twin 72-millimeter turbochargers.
  • It starts at $41,999, with output climbing to as much as 1,500 hp on race fuel.

Most high-horsepower crate engines come with a few strings attached: mandatory race fuel, tons of maintenance, and a whole lot of time spent keeping everything happy. Nelson Racing Engines, however, has a new option that delivers serious power without being too complicated.
