If you’re looking to make a lot of power…and we mean a LOT of power, you’re going to need some forced induction. While the debate of superchargers versus turbochargers will not be settled on our humble corner of the Internet, it cannot be denied that strapping two huge turbos to a beefy V8 engine is sure to produce some ridiculous horsepower numbers. Nobody knows this better than Nelson Racing Engines, who in the past have provided us with some awesome videos of their high-horsepower motors. And while we’ve seen plenty of old school motors rocking power in excess of 1,000 ponies, this 454 LSx engine tickles us pink with its redonkulous 1,800 horsepower.

The hell with the ZR1 when are they putting something like this in a Vette? Imagine the tranny that would have to be behind it to handle that torque!

A fully built 4L80E has been known to hold that much power, in a truck too. But a th400 or a glide would git-er-done
