Building The EngineLabs Giveaway Engine On Carpet

The 2025 EngineLabs Giveaway presented by Summit Racing is live, and it’s bigger, bolder, and more ambitious than ever. From now through April 2, 2026, fans can enter for free at www.enginelabsgiveaway.com for a chance to claim one of the most jaw-dropping engines we’ve ever built. No purchase. No hoops. Just sign up, and you’re in.

This engine was built live during the PRI Show; if you were there, you saw this amazing engine come together. Over the course of three days, Nick Bacalis of Bullet Racing Engine assembled this 632 cubic-inch beast from a bare JLine Performance iron block to a running engine, all on the carpet of the POWER booth, in front of hundreds of people each day.

This year’s mission is crystal clear: no power adders—just displacement, compression, and engineering excellence. We’re talking over 1,000 naturally aspirated horsepower, built to run on readily available 93-octane pump gas. Sounds like an impossible challenge? Not to the team we’ve assembled. With the support of our elite product partners, confidence is sky-high. In fact, when the conversation turns to cracking that 1,000-horsepower mark, everyone seems to think that’s on the low side.

This isn’t just another giveaway engine — this is a statement. It’s a showcase of modern engine technology, expert craftsmanship, and raw American horsepower. And one lucky entrant is going to bolt it into their project and experience it firsthand.

So what are you waiting for? Head to www.enginelabsgiveaway.com, get entered, and stay tuned as we reveal more details and highlights of the build over the next 30 days. The countdown to 1,000 horsepower is officially underway.
