To quote the great Ace Ventura, “Holy testicle Tuesday!” Mopar ripped the veil off the nastiest factory crate engine of all time, a fire breathing 800hp V10 that cranks out almost 700 lb/ft of torque and spins to 7,000-RPM. Intended as a full boogie race engine, the compression ratio is 12.5:1 and the guts of the engine are all forged, from the crank all the way up to the pistons. 

All of that goodness is housed in an aluminun block and topped with aluminum cylinder heads. The engine has also been precision balanced to maximize performance and durability on the track or romping in your street car…if you have the guts to roam the streets with a 12.5:1 compression mill.

Included with the engine is the computer, pre-loaded with race calibration and the engine wiring harness. Mopar says that this engine is primarily intended for drag racing but versions intended for road racing and off road racing will be forthcoming.

Here’s the full release from Mopar. This thing is one bad mother.

Leading the way is an 800 horsepower V-10 Competition Series engine, part number P5155872 that is designed specifically for drag racing. Hand assembled to exacting standards by race engine builders, the Competition Series V-10 features an aluminum block with aluminum cylinder heads. Designed for the rigors of drag racing and pulling 695 lb. ft. of torque with an operating range of up to 7,000 rpm, these race-calibrated engines include a forged steel crankshaft with forged steel connecting rods and forged aluminum pistons with a compression ratio of 12.5:1. All rotating components have been balanced for maximum performance at the track.

The Competition Series engine includes a JTEC controller with race calibration and engine harness. Designed specifically for drag racing, future applications include an off-road and road-race version.

Enthusiasts looking to extract up to 150 more horsepower from their Gen III Dodge Viper can now bolt on a Performance Upgrade Kit, part number P5156137, to their stock V-10 engine. Each kit includes a pair of aluminum cylinder heads (machined to fit the Gen III block), a custom upper intake manifold with a larger throttle body, fuel rails and injectors. The stock engine controller will have to be re-flashed.

All necessary hardware and gaskets are included.

With the Performance Upgrade Kit, owners will see up to 650 horsepower from their existing engine while still maintaining excellent low-end drivability.
