19 minute in depth interview with creator Mike Goodwin.

"Ford Racing engineers reveal the engineering secrets behind the new 1,200 HP Ford Megazilla 2.0 supercharged 7.3L V8 engine! At SEMA 2026, Ctech Review sits down with Ford Racing's Mike Goodwin for an in-depth discussion about how Ford developed this incredible engine, the upgrades required to handle four-digit horsepower, and what this technology could mean for the future of the Ford Super Duty.
This isn't simply a stock 7.3L Godzilla V8 with a supercharger bolted on. Ford Racing explains the extensive engineering behind the Megazilla 2.0, including a forged 4340 crankshaft, upgraded connecting rods and pistons, modified engine block, improved cylinder head sealing, CNC-machined cylinder heads, and a specially developed camshaft.
The engine features a 3.0L Whipple supercharger, approximately 18–19 PSI of boost on race fuel, and produces over 1,000 lb-ft of torque across an incredibly wide RPM range. Ford Racing also discusses durability, reliability, supercharger belt slip solutions, and the planned 2027 release of this hand-built crate engine.
We also get an exclusive look at the wild 1,200 HP Megazilla-powered Ford Bronco Raptor, featuring custom 74 Weld portal hubs, Bilstein 9400 shocks, upgraded Dana axles, an Atlas transfer case, a Super Duty transmission, and extensive suspension and drivetrain modifications.
Could a supercharged 7.3L Godzilla V8 eventually come to the Ford F-250 or F-350 Super Duty?
We ask Ford Racing directly about the possibility of bringing additional supercharged horsepower and torque to Ford's heavy-duty gasoline trucks.
