Wrangling a 1,000-horsepower twin-turbo LS setup can prove difficult on a drag strip. How crazy is it, then, to see a purpose-built prototype racer like the Enviate Hypercar taking four-digit power up the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb?New Zealand"s High Performance Academy caught up with the Enviate"s EFI tuner Adam from Smart EFI in Colorado Springs to talk about the Hypercar. Pikes Peak presents a series of unique challenges for any car, but designing the EFI system required leaping over several major hurdles.The obvious one comes from the thin air near Pikes Peak"s 14,000-foot summit. A twin-turbo setup alleviates some aspiration problems. However, Adam explains that the thinner air requires more fuel at the top of the mountain than the starting line, though only about 7 percent more. That"s only about 10 percent more than at sea level.
