Speedriven V12 Engine Build
You may have forgotten about a certain SL project we've been working on, but it's still moving forward- and you'll definitely remember it once you see the finished product! Until then, here's a picture of the freshly decked, honed, and line-bored V12, which will make up the beating heart of this fully built monster. Along with ...

- sleeved block
- machined crankshaft
- custom forged connecting rods
- custom low compression billet pistons
- upgraded valve train and mild headwork

... which, you know, is all there to support the big turbos.

It's a thing.

Oh hey, this is what you were teasing in V12TTenthusiast's thread.
Is this the 1500+ HP package offered in your product guide? It's already on my wishlist .
I honestly can't wait to see how this turns out, thank you for the update!

Looks like a great project. Just hope we don't have to wait another 5 years.

Update: the standalone ECU is communicating with the TCU and cluster wonderfully after a very, very long weekend. Good progress.

It'll be tuned for 1500 HP, more or less, but it's being built to (theoretically) handle 2000.

I'd think wheel spin past 100. I can almost spin at 80 on a cold day and I only have a speedriven ecu/tcu tune
