It would be nice to know what they are using for blocks ,cranks, etc. penninsular?

Wow the videos are pretty cool. Short tho...

Would be nice if they had a sequential supercharger + turbo set-up, but not for $5,000 for just the supercharger. That's way tooo expensive for a supercharger.

They must be nuts to think they are going to have good sales with a price tag like that. That and what is this BS about turbochargers being known to cause stress cracking in the heads??

I would imagine it has to do with overheating from high EGTs. Never thought much about it, (because being non-turbo'd just isn't worth thinking about), but it does make a kind of sense that using exhaust extraction would lower load temps in the heads.

And no, I have nothing to back up that little supposition...

that is a p-400 they are using... what does one run for these days?.... it is possible to find these kits used also, i have heard they run around 1800-2000 used...

Thats what we like to call operator input error

I've heard that those P-400 blocks are mighty expensive. Like you can easily sink $10000 into a new block.

IIRC they only come as complete engines which are around 10k

Wow the price must have gone up! When I called Pennisular a year or two ago they told me the P400 long block was $7200 plus shipping.

I emailed them a few weeks ago and they are now a little lower than the $7200 you were quoted!
