Some "spyshots" of the new engine VT Engines is cooking up for Pro 5.0. Not much has been said (pending magazine article release) but it looks healthy. Aluminum 5.4L Modular based, 16 fuel injectors (imagine trying to tune that in a sequential mode... )....can't wait to see if dyno videos of this car pop up.

Does anyone else think that is a weird place to put the turbos? I guess the one good thing is that they are behind the front wheels thus taking more weight off of the nose, but they are extremely close to the primaries, and the compressor intake is positioned right behind the tire where I can't see being the most ideal place to suck air.

I still think its BAD ASS though!

I was wondering about turbo placement myself, but your right it's definately badass.

I don't think it's going to pick up too much road debris considering it will only see the 1320!! A screen is a cheap and effective way to keep out any big stuff.

The only thing i don't like is how low the turbo's hang...necessating a tank and pump for drainback. But hey...it's a race car...they're a much different breed than street cars!
