f'ed his stuff up good! Wow! Didn't blow the heads off - it split the freakin' block in two horizontally! That's insane...

I love how he has this extra beefy, triple roll-cage to protect him from a roll-over (that you never see on tractor pulls), but his face and body is wide open and fully exposed to the billion hp bomb right there before his eyes

I would be amazed if he didn't wind up soiling his underwear...

Barry,I imagine it would be safe to assume those turbo's are just a little to large for use on a 3.5 twin ???

F,Thanks for your sms`s..
These guys use staged turbocharging to get the boost and power from these things..I have seen 3 stage turbos,scary stuff..
A little too big for your motor..

Great pics Barry! How on earth can you blow an engine in half at the Block!!! Must have built it well, i guess when crankcase strength becomes limiting you must be making serious HP!!!!!

Matt,As JJ said,insane!!
These tractor pulling guys are making SERIOUS hp and torque..Im not sure how much excactly,but its thousands..
Perhaps the U.S. guys know??

Do they even do Tractor pulling in the US? I thought it was a Euro thing, Sweden, Denmark Holland and Germany are quite big in it from what I have seen on Eurosport, but I can't say I have actively followed it...

btw, didn't some old Yank V8's use to split right down the middle in the camshaft bearings?

Mats, indeed they do. A lot more common in the rural areas. A local machine shop builds engines for them. Truly brutal stuff.

I see, didn't know that.

I guess you are refferring to Tractor Pulling?

What about the ones with a set of heli-turbine engines? Now that's just stupid.

I live just outside a small village in Ohio with a population of about 3000 people. The tractor pull is almost as popular as the demolition derby during the yearly fair. I am about 3 miles from the fairgrounds and can hear the tractors clearly when I stand outside my house. Never seen a heli-turbine model though.
