Our Stage 1 5.2L Long Block engine addresses the most obvious weak points in the stock assembly, the rotating assembly and valvetrain. With the weaknesses addressed, a refreshed set of cylinder heads, and hardware upgrades your engine will be up to the task of supporting over 2,000whp at over 9,000RPM. This same base engine package served us well as we worked on our overall platform development in our own shop R8. Believe it or not, this was all the was needed engine wise to crack off 7.5x 1/4 mile passes in excess of 200mph!
