What If Build Ideas...for Land Speed Racing

To be completely honest, I don’t think I’d go crazy with cubic inches on this deal. A big block will certainly make the power more easily but along with that comes low speed torque and on salt, on a 5” wide tire, you’re in for a hell of a ride. Think 150 mph burnouts. I’d focus on a small cubic inch, very high winding, very efficient, turbocharged deal. Something that makes the power number up top and is happy to rpm in the 7500-9500 range.

I hate to say it, but that sounds like an LS. With a big or small block mopar, I would think that an aftermarket block would be first step. I dont know if the gen three bottom end is as strong as an LS.
It sounds to me that the head flow of a gen three would be the best way to get there with a mopar.
An R5P7 with a forced induction would be the easy (not cheap) way.
