Engines that have a lot of untapped potential (whether with boost or otherwise)?

[Howard]

My vote goes to Mazda's 4-rotor R26B or the Monster Merlin 632.

 

[Zim Hosein]

Chevy 454

 

[radioouman]

GM Ecotec

 

[Evadman]

Dodge Ram V-10, Cummins Diesel, the R26B, Dodge turbo 4's

 

[LordMorpheus]

The enormous Rolls-Royce Griffon that powered the better models of the Spitfire in WWII.

I bet a car built with that would own any little ricers in the world . . .

very true, if built correctly and with a little creativity, you can have a very fast car.

Lingenfelter drove one to a 6.99 @ Pomona, IIRC.

VAG 1.8t

The 4 banger under the good of a 1989 Chrysler Turbo minivan. 11-12 sec quarter with relatively minimal modification. IN A MINIVAN. Not too bad stock either (The way I roll mine, minus the electrical mods required for a carputer)

a 454 with 32 valves is awesome! I know they made 32 valve heads for a 350, a 454 would be cooler than sh!t.
