NRE Blow-Thru 540 – 1100–1400 HP Turn-Key Twin-Turbo Powerhouse

The NRE Blow-Thru 540 was engineered for builders who want massive horsepower without the complexity usually associated with turbocharged big block installations. Delivering 1100 hp on 91-octane pump gas and up to 1400 hp on E85, this engine is designed as a straightforward, stress-free drop-in package. No custom intercoolers to fabricate. No complicated turbo plumbing. No guessing.
Everything needed to get running—including headers, intake conduits, wiring, and electronics—is fully integrated, dyno-tested, and ready to fire up the moment it’s installed.

This is a true weekend install engine, built for enthusiasts who want huge power gains and bulletproof reliability without downtime or fabrication. The hydraulic roller valvetrain ensures no valve adjustments, giving you naturally aspirated simplicity with forced-induction performance.

Street-Ready Reliability with Race-Level Performance

With a powerband engineered for real-world driving, the Blow-Thru 540 blends big-block torque with smooth, predictable turbo spool. The combination of Dart’s robust 9.8-deck block, Callies forged crankshaft, and Boostline forged connecting rods allows this engine to withstand extreme boost pressures while maintaining long-term endurance.

The Holley Terminator Stealth fuel system and Holley billet ignition provide smart, adaptive control, superb cold starts, improved altitude compensation, and stable performance during extended runs. Designed for street, strip, and pro-touring builds, this engine delivers the perfect fusion of daily durability and drag-strip brutality.
