When boosting alloytecs what needs to be reinforced

Why not just buy a 2023 COPO Camaro with 1000hp out of the box?
At least you know everything around that 1000hp is built to take it and last. (Well, except the tyres. They will probably squeal for mercy - at every set of traffic lights, lol)

Yep, I've heard of the new COPO Camaro which has a 10.4 Litre V8, 3 speed auto and isn't street legal unfortunately, this car is a purpose built drag racer... It would've been cool for Holden to do this if they were still around building RWD cars, which wouldn't have happened even if Australian manufacturing continued as GM was going to use the American Impala platform, which is the definition of an appliance...

Imagine the timing chain issues on a V12 Alloytec!

Still couldn’t make 1000 giddy-ups.

According to the article:

"Well-placed sources suggest the V12 will punch out about 450kW and 700Nm, putting it in the right ballpark to lock horns with range-topping versions of the S-Class."

Apparently this engine was going to be 7.2 Litres as opposed to a 6 Litre V12 found in a Mercedes or BMW, so it would've been very thirsty!
