That was from the last fun experiment, kind of like the guys from Road Kill doing a Chevy Monza with 3 or 4 gas leaf blowers feeding the intake on the stock 305. They did a rolling mile on a runway. I won't ruin it for anyone who recorded it, but the results were surprising.

Its really fun looking at some of the created vehicles that people have made. Some are really good and well designed, but others are just unbelievable. I like some of the videos of starting engines old and new and even the big ship engines along with Uboat engines.

I don’t think you can blow them up if you keep oil in them. Seen so many of them over 300,000 miles and one customer had over 700,000 on his 3.8 in a Buick

              Sold the 94 Olds with the 3.8 and it had like 240 G on the clock. The 06 Grand Prix I bought late last year had 154 G showin on the clock when I got it. 25  26 M P G on the hiway and low 20s around town and I are a happy camper!  coolsmiley More than once it walked up to and past the ton with out bustin a sweat. Yeah-likin my Pancho and I KNOW how stout these 3.8s are.  cooldude Yup-happy with another G M 3.8! RIDE SAFE.

HF Predator engines are made by Loncin outta China,

Typical Chinese, they copied designs from Honda, Briggs & Stratton, Kawasaki, and other small engine manufacturers.

Toro uses Loncin engines in a lot of there applications, I've heard good and bad things about them.

Very interesting video  Grin
