Awesome...maybe they will be a resource for future engine development

 

I would kill to have one of those things. Oh well, I least I can dream.

 

Damnit gotta wait til I get home

 

one step closer, you have the motor! haha

 

I thought Leno had cool cars. Im looking at his garage and all he has are antiques and the MClaren.

 

there are ALOT more cars he OWNS then what is just listed on that site I linked up

 

Sooo, what did they do to the LSJ for that engine to make 300 hp???

 

my question exactly

 

oh ok, thats that I thought.

 

From what i read, they did the GM 300hp build as outlined in the performance articles. The process to build it is out there. Its just that no one wants to do it....

 

nice vid

theres actually alotta kool vids on there

 

Leno has three aircraft hangers full of cars. Speed did a documentary thingy on hinm a while back

 

HAHA thats sweet the company who built that car is where I got my header. The stock ss header i got on ebay was from Brammo Motorsports!!

Go to arielatom.com there is some really cool info on the eco motor there.

 

schaweet!!

 

...oh......wow......ummmmm does anyone have a towel?

 

Oh my I found the wet spot. I <3 Atoms

 

It could of had a gm stage 2 kit, and he could've been referring it to have 300 crank hp.

 

That thing is SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i think you're right. it sounded that way to me when he kept re-iterating that it was 300hp from 2 liters.
plus, it sounded pretty much exactly like a stage 2 balt

 

Well, take away all that weight too and that low to the ground......no wonder it pulls!!!!

 

Hell yea! That vid is awesome. I really would love one of those Atoms.

 

he bounces off the rev limiter pulling away from the bikers....... it needs stage 3 with 8 k redline.....

 

Well, soon as this warnity runs out. The motor gets pulled and I'm going to rebuild the lower and upper end. All forged with GM Stage III kit. Going to run at least a 50 shot and go all out race motor for the street and track. Of course I don't want to now because I don't want to void anything. Have to be happy with low 13s for now with no drag radials.

 

^^^^^^^thats what im doing man.... 11 thousand more miles, then the fun begins....
