These motors are probably 15-20k once they reach the track. Just a offhand guess. As my son has spent 13k on a street motor with no tranny mods. Just motor, ported heads, bigger cams, 100mm bore, open source tuning with datalogging and utec piggyback, bigger injectors, bigger fuel pump, bigger oil pump, front mount ic, 8qt oil pan, true cold air intake and a 30r rotated turbo at 26 psi. Conservative tune about 425awhp. Also no water or alcohol injection yet.

Hell a 250hp 2.0 flat six is well into the 30K range.

Real motors are expensive once you get past a certain point. Specialized parts and prep work are expensive, but they are required to get to the big numbers.

Neighbor across the street twenty years ago was the race tech guru for Mercury Marine. He said he they were at the point where customers were paying $10,000 for every additional horse.

I've always resented turbo motors, thinking that was a unfair way to make horsepower. Having this car has changed that thinking. Screw "fair", bottom line is that horsepower is fun. And more horsepower is more fun.
