Horsepower Heroes LEGENDS + 2500hp MPW Ford Capri

When it comes to Haltech Horsepower Heroes legends there's at least two dozen names that come to mind. JBens chats with Adam Rogash from MPW Performance about the legendary cars and moments from Horsepower Heroes history and where the competition is headed.
Stick around to the end to catch the MPW Capri try to break the hub dyno in testing for Summernats 36.

that gold vk or vh twin turbo holden stroker was and still is my fav Summernats horsepower hero...breaking 1000hp when it was unheard of and with a stroked iron lion epic!!!

[@Grooty79]

It was one of the best, and Eddie holding the manifold above his head like the king he is 🤭🤭

[@nices15]

Couldn't agree more bro.

[@fullnoyz7670]

People forget that it had a T5 too

[@owenskelly7039]

Actually Rob Vickery was the first to go 1000hp with his Ute I think

[@MrPig208]

So good to hear Pinky's voice getting the crowd pumped during Todd Wilkes runs. Tassone's VH was a trend setter way back in the day, he's doing good things over in WA still

[@chrismallinson3349]

Eddy Tassone vh was the car that changed horse power heroes for ever

[@_sg843]

💯

[@nemohoes007]

Rip Todd Wilkes. Judge was my favorite

[@CoreyjGrieve]

Brett Waine didn't get a mention! Those guy's were the pioneers of the sport, and all doing it on pump 98 without modern ECU tech. I watched Tassone run over 1200hp @ wheels live in 2003, my first time seeing that sort of power up close on a dyno... awesome stuff.

[@doonbags22]

ACME Engineering. Unbelievable they didn’t get a mention. SMH ay

[@glennkiller3195]

The standout for me, was Scott Forester's "Arrow" Gemini. Making Nearly 1000hp Rear Wheels HP. A SOHC Isuzu on Boost getting it Done.

[@slidemyride]

PSYCHO

[@shaunc8189]

Was good to see Jason Greys face, worked with him for a few years before he moved overseas, awesome guy!

[@Low760]

Ttv8 making 1000whp was epic the year after the judge. The Eddie's car made 1000rwkw the year after that.

[@arm_luvr1002]

RIP Todd Wilkes

[@ZimmyTheTulip]

Not to forget Brett’s Waines menacing twin turbo VC Commodore "RAPID8" 💪💪 but loved the OG "Judge" VS Ute that basically started the Rage in the cage Hype!! RIP T.W Also the limted ecu tunning and insane fab work in them cars back then, paving the way for high hp efi cars. 🔥🔥♥

[@TURBO_LSX_CODY]

Wicked good episode!

[@_sg843]

would love to see Australia's fastest street car MINCER green ford capri on the dyne at Summernats would be insane

[@RagingBlades]

Jake Edwards’ Torana was one of the first cars with a turbo to make some serious power- 308 Holden with cast iron heads, holset truck turbo, reversed hq cast iron headers, blow through carby. 730rwhp.

[@slidemyride]

So good mate!! CAN’T WAIT FOR SUMMERNATS, to see how there, who got what, and the SHENANIGANS 😇🙏🏻

[@bubbafromeasternats]

Love it brother once you brake my record I’ll have to bring the vh back

[@darrindouglas1]

As soon as the Capri fired up....I went "fuck me"......bloody credit to all involved.......

[@stevemanning6722]

Great video!

[@jjjjjj9284]

Think Eddie's VH made around 1376rwhp hey ...Was very quick too i saw it at the motorplex back then run 8.11@176mph i think , one very tough Holden Stroker that definitely backed up the numbers on the dyno 💪

[@paulgomez930]

Todd Wilkes twin turbo 355 made over 1000 first but was making 16 psi boost when 15 psi was the limit so it won at part throttle

[@paulgomez930]

I was the person who machined the engine and built it i was working for Kevin kent ,Todd was a mate and a customer of Kevins

[@Grooty79]

Cant wait to have my screaming na on the dyno there in 12 months time 💪

[@davidwindsor4632]

Nuts 2550 HP. Crazy power. 😳

[@gibbo418]

The cars are sickk.

[@okramrimitsog5931]

The Capri is Gangsta

[@doonbags22]

No mention of ACME Engineering TT 308 on Fn Pump Fuel!!!

[@evltwin984]

Gotta love haych ks & v haychs

[@chrisdunn7936]

What a car 😍😍😍

[@paulcoote3094]

Adam forgot about trick n mansweto going straight from track to dyno and winning.............. no turbo

[@Stolencamaro]

Remember gold vh 20 years ago most powerful car

[@pmd7771969]

I doubt too many cars will hold together at 2500 to 3000 hp

[@madrx2]

Plenty of them do

[@daddosjeffery]

Its gunna be Maaad 🎉

[@steventosi8067]

Holy fuck🇦🇺🍻🥳

[@Osmocote]
