Dont get tooo stunned... They used to take the inline sixes from the sixties... and get them to crank out upwards of 1500hp.... Its been awhile since I read the article... but it was legitimate.... just like they used to take the buick v6's into the 700's with higher octane fuel and a twin turbo setup....

In my opinion thats not really that supriseing at all. People can take a Subuaru Boxer motor which is a 4 Cylinder and make them do pretty much around 300-1000hp, I would deffintally think that a 6 cylinder can, look at supra's, grandnationals as wlorton said, etc. Its all on how much you want to build it
