Re: Ford Probe + Boost = KABOOM

I wonder how many horsepower it was making at the crank. I know that American enginges tend to have rather restrictive heads (two valve not four/five like most/some japenese and euro engines), so that 25 psi probably wasn't doing as much, as, say twenty on a 1MZ-FE or such. A rod shooting out the TOP though is really impressive, and wierd. I mean, they usually fly out the bottom on high boost applications. I find it sad that the other people on that forum assumed nitrous, clearly somebody watched Fast and Furious (worst movie ever) and thought that to get high hp you need to use it. The highest hp street driven motor I've ever heard of was a single turbo 2JZ-GTE @ 39 psi, no N2O, especially that NOS brand. ( 991 whp 9 sec 1/4 at 149.99 mph if you were wondering)
