Engine Blow 2008
Airkooled Kustoms sponsored an engine blow at the 2008 North Alabama Volkswagen Club's Bug'n in July car show. The engine was a junked aircooled Volkswagen Beetle motor that sat seized in someone's backyard for the last 5 years. We took it apart, slapped some used parts from another junk motor in it, filled it with oil and gas and then rigged it to run at wide-open throttle until it died. The engine ran for an astounding 9 minutes, 41 seconds before seizing again.

WRX Sti (570 HP, 573 TQ) Tuned by Topspeed
2004 WRX Sti with over 12K in mods. Tuned by Top Speed of Atlanta GA, Dyno run @ 454 HP and 457 TQ.

This is my third WRX, I purchased this car with the mods and tune done. I know there is more but this is all I know. The car ran an 11.2 QM and reaches 60 mph in aprox 3.2 seconds. My 65 year old uncle who has raced cars his whole life and owns multiple 600+ HP cars one of which is a wheelies Kit car with a blown 454 producing 650 WHP took a ride in this Subie and said after the ride that it was the fastest car he had ever driven. I am sure he has had a few 10 second cars or even high 9 sec. He said it was the fastest car he had driven but I doubt it. I would say that it is the fastest 0-100 he had ever driven. Old dudes have no idea what horse power can do in combination with AWD. He was blown away. I just got the car last month and have already raced a new Z06 Vette from a 2nd gear roll and pulled 5 links on him to 145 MPH.
