Stage 4 Breakdown

The Forged Hustler

"Bumboclaat! You are officially in the big leagues. You can do back-to-back 160mph pulls on the highway without worrying about blowing up."

Target Output 1100 - 1200 HP
Estimated Cost $35,700

Engine Architecture

Visconti / Ghassan built block. The factory aluminum block is machined and fitted with Darton ductile iron sleeves to prevent cylinder cracking. Rotating assembly uses CP Forged Pistons (10.5:1 compression) and Carrillo HD connecting rods with ARP Custom Age 625+ rod bolts.

Turbo & Aspiration

Precision Turbo PTE 6870 on a custom Top-Mount tubular exhaust manifold (like DOC Race or Klimatic). Top-mount kits allow for massive A/R exhaust housings, dropping backpressure drastically and shifting the power band to the extreme top end.

Transmission & Drivetrain

Built ZF8 utilizing Deca Clutches upgraded friction plates and steels. The drum and planetary gears are reinforced. Shifts are brutally fast, and the torque limit is practically removed.

Fueling & Engine Management

Complete Radium Engineering fuel cell setup or highly modified saddle tanks. 3x Walbro 535 pumps staging progressively. 100% E85 requirement with 1050x Injector Dynamics port injectors.
