Mike L. aside, I don't think anyone else is even close to that n/ a. I don't think there has been over 5 builds that broke 1,000.

There have been more than five E-head builds that broke 1,000 hp. I think the 1k mark might have been broke on pump gas.... If not it was close and that number has been topped with Hi-ports. There are at least two CNC programs out there that will give you the potential to make 2.1 horsepower per cubic inch or more. Our small engines have been within spitting distance of 1100hp. I feel the bar should be raised to 1100hp since the 1k mark is yesterday's news, so to speak. Mike L's impressive builds were quite a few years ago. It's been many years since King Kinsler made 2.0 HP per CID with his E-head build. Technology keeps changing and the horsepower numbers keep climbing..... JMO
