CompetitionPlus.com published a news item in early-October proclaiming engine builder Sonny Leonard had produced a 2,000-horse, naturally aspirated engine via his dyno readings. The 892-inch engine profiled found its way into the Top Sportsman GTO of Frank Tamez, who during the recent PSCA Street Car Supernationals, provided Leonard with the ultimate commercial.

CompetitionPlus.com published a news item in early-October proclaiming engine builder Sonny Leonard had produced a 2,000-horse, naturally aspirated engine via his dyno readings. The 892-inch engine profiled found its way into the Top Sportsman GTO of Frank Tamez, who during the recent PSCA Street Car Supernationals, provided Leonard with the ultimate commercial.

Tamez, a resident of Washington state, drove his Jerry Bickel GTO to an astounding 6.38 elapsed time. He used a Turbo 400 transmission on the run.

The thing engine builder Leonard is most proud of is not the elapsed time.

"We didn't change a valave spring all weekend," Leonard said with a smile.
