ICU Racing



CT Performance Machine has engineered a remarkable 1,900-horsepower small-block Ford-based engine for a no-prep Mustang, showcasing that massive horsepower doesn’t require large cubic inches. Owner Carmen Trischitta collaborated closely with his customer to ensure a dependable and powerful engine. The foundation of this build is the World Products Man O’ War Block, specifically designed for high horsepower applications, providing a robust base that can withstand the demands of racing.

To achieve this power without sacrificing reliability, the rotating assembly includes a Bryant crankshaft, Oliver rods, and Wiseco pistons. The engine’s valve train is composed of a COMP Cams camshaft driven by a Jesel belt drive, along with T&D rocker arms and Bam lifters. Air intake is facilitated by Brodix 15-degree cylinder heads from Kuntz and Company Racing Engines, complemented by a modified Holley High Ram intake. Boost is delivered via a Forced Inductions 98mm turbo.

Trischitta emphasizes the importance of using high-quality, compatible components to withstand the stress of high power levels. His collaboration with the customer ensured optimal part selection for their performance goals, resulting in a potent small-block engine. This build exemplifies the significance of expert guidance and the necessity of choosing the right parts to create a successful performance engine that delivers incredible power reliably.
