WORLDS FASTEST Godzilla Powered Car!? Big Turbo Godzilla S197 hits the track!

In this weeks video we bring you along to Bradenton Motorsports Park for some private testing. The car ended up running a 9.3 on an extremely conservative tune-up and we feel like it has a lot left in it with a few tweaks. We have upgraded to a set of billet fuel rails by Paul's High Performance before heading up to Bradenton for the first round of the NMCA season where we were a vendor. Brian Wolfe from Willis Enterprises is sending us a few different prototype camshafts to test and we are excited to share the results with you once we get the time to test those. We also show you the set of custom MGP billet rods for our methanol motor setup and Joe speaks about our new partnership with Team Z Motorsports!
We hit our 2,000 subscriber goal so we are giving away a few Five Bar Motorsports swag packs. All you need to do to be eligible is subscribe to our channel and comment on THIS video. Kazz will be selecting a handful of folks at random this week!

I’d love to have a 7.3 swapped into my f150. Thanks for pursuing this engine platform. You guys were early on this, and it’s paying off.

[@FiveBarMotorsports]

Thanks Murry! If you ever have any questions or need help sourcing parts please shoot us an email or DM us on social media. We'd love to help any way that we can.

[@jackhelm92968]

Looking to do the same thing! I have a 2010 F-150 King Ranch with a 5.4L 3 valve and the 6 speed A/T. I’ve seen the 7.3L Ford Performance crate engine including intake, exhaust manifolds throttle body as low as $6K. That beats swapping a Coyote plus more power on 87 octane pump gas. 450HP & 475 lb/ft torque without any mods.

[@alhopkins185]

Being a Ford guy I hope that engine is a beast.

[@traxiii]

Glad to see you guys are working on the 7.3L, I think that engine is going to kick some LS motors out of Ford chassis, finally. The on car cam sounds like its bogging big time out of the hole, giving away a tenth or two on your 60 ft. Looking forward to seeing more, especially the methanol build!

[@alittleofthislittleathat351]

@@Boostismyfriend I’m an LS guy myself, but I’m intrigued by these things. It irritates me that they call it “Godzilla” when the GTRs already have that nickname. I’m not really concerned about 7.3s ‘taking over’ either just because they aren’t making nearly enough of them to outweigh all the LS swaps

@@dburkh91 baddest car to the date i ever road in was a buddy jeff hagaman’s 1800hp gtr, it was godzilla for a street car! I hope this engine take off like a wildfire, takes all the fence jumpers with it, i was swapping Ls long before it was common, i get tired of seeing them in everything

[@FiveBarMotorsports]

No intercooler is correct. We will not be utilizing one on the methanol engine we are building so we have elected to not spend the extra money to set one up on this stock configuration. We may install a methanol injection kit to keep temps down for our next round of testing though. Thank you for your support Cody!

So sweet!! Going to be a POPULAR build with Ford guys wanting to keep it Ford.

[@mytruthslays1303]

It won't. The Godzilla will cost you Godzilla money, when you can go 7s on a factory sealed coyote on boost. Until there is an aftermarket for the Godzilla (which there won't be), and it gets significantly cheaper to buy, this will be a rarity. Coyote is BY FAR the best bag for your buck.

Excellent question Paul. Seems like the aftermarket is slowly but surely coming around on these. Paul's High Performance makes a very nice set of fuel rails for this platform and Brian Wolfe at Willis Enterprises has been working extremely hard on camshafts, cylinder heads, and internal components with a few awesome manufacturers.

Wishing y'all the best of luck with the Godzilla. I've got a feeling that your hard work will pay off with this pioneering project and hopefully the aftermarket will give you a hand in achieving your goals. I've been a Ford man for over 50 years and there's nothing I hate more than a bastardized Ford platform running something other than a Ford powerplant. Go hand those Chevy guys their asses.
