Methinks it may be, for a big motor will generate a lot of heat at full noise for so long up hills like that. Add in an intercooler blocking your radiator an an 1100hp motor, and you will need all the help you can get.

				1100hp at the wheels is some serious hp, obvioulsy using an ATLAS tc.
assuming 30% driveline loss those 4.8's are making 1450hp. WOW!!!
They must cost ZILLIONS, cus they would need billet chromo crank, alloy rods, bottom end girdles (the std bottom ends arent good enough for over 600hp) . . . . . . .
Do you know who built these engines??? they sound awesome!!!

				Some of those Big block V8's are old US Prostock drag car engines, 1500hp N/A would be a snack on a detuned motor.

				most of them run the 4800 vtc from the patrol with turbos, they push about 1400 - 1500 hp ... pretty powerfull the rest use the ls engines v8. in the 6 cylinder engines the 4800 has been undefeated.

				Best shorty thread ever! Is there a shorty racing class or do other vehicles compete against the patrols as well? What size tyres?

				This link shows the only 2 cars used by popularity, toughness and coolness in these places. The nissan patrol swb and the toyota land cruiser swb ... no other car. Sometimes you see a different car like a wrangler or a cherokee or something but thats once in a blue moon ... why - because they suck !

 I would go to watch   

   i no the trucks are not made for it but some would still have to run 14sec 1/4's yer ?

Rumour was Trent Leens shorty a couple of years back did 15sec which isnt bad for a clapped out old nissan. Since then its been rebuilt and some more stuff done (all rumour and storys there may be no fact in that). And Birdy did 13.5sec on 35's. Also Sandy won some of there burnout comps in a LWB 3lt GQ.
So if there the numbers they where doing then. The turbo petrols and Supercharged gen3 should be good for something in the 12secs and the disels should be able to get into the 14sec pass group.

Birdy ran the old truck, unsure of times though.. sure someone on here will know.
(EDIT: see above post for times ^^^, turps beat me to it! )
