Building A 7-Second V10 | 2300HP+ Wheelie Machine

DCT considerations, GT-R vs Huracan, horsepower vs car setup, this interview has it all.

NOTE: Jordan owns two Huracans, B-roll only features one.

Competition between the Audi R8, Lamborghini Huracan and long-established Nissan R35 GT-R platforms has been heating up in the drag racing world for some time, and our next guest is no stranger to being at the pointy end of the time sheets in more than one of these packages.

Jordan Martins Prime Cuts Chop Shop Lamborghini Huracan, the AMS Alpha Omega 'dragbo' is an impressive car, and at SEMA he gave us some insight into this specific package which at the time of filming saw it being the 2nd fastest Huracan on the 1/4.

Sporting twin Garrett G42-1450 pushing 37-39psi of boost through the 5.2-litre Lamborghini V10 has gone from 600hp (naturally aspirated) to well over 2000hp while retaining the stock block, and bores with a factory rotating assembly even seeing solid reliability up to the 1200-1300hp range. Some comparisons around this and the VR38 in the R35 platform are discussed along with when a billet block might be considered down the line.

Also touched on is the importance of the MoTeC traction control setup for helping launch the car, ideally without wheeling which this platform is inherently prone to doing, along with the chassis, tyre and JRZ suspension setup vs just dumping more and more power into the equation in the quest for faster passes. Drag racing with a dual clutch transmission (DCT) is also a topic we get into again drawing some comparisons to the R35 platform with a nod to John Reed Racings polished development in this area.

The goal for Jordan and the team are to get into the 6's with this platform, and we have no reason to believe they won't reach this goal and beyond.
