Wow, I saw one of those at the NAIAS last year and was impressed. I sat there staring at is for 10 minutes....the only thing I disliked about it wasthat price tag :22yikes:

 I thought that was going in one of your cars for a minute and I was like " :worshippy Now we're talking!!!"  :ylsuper:
 So what is the price tag on the monster?

I'm sure you are going to disassemble and check clearances, etc, before installing it. I know I would!

I most defintely will be leaving this one as built. The builder for Mopar put 15 hrs of dyno time on it and tore it down for inspection afterwards. This are nice pieces!!

The retail price in Canada is almost $68,000.00 so they aren't cheap by any means.

It had 850 hp on gasoline but is set up for alcohol. With the required change in blower pulley and the alcohol carberators mounted on top it should be well over 1,000 hp.
