Get ready to see a Dodge truck as you’ve never seen one before, with 17 turbos attached to the hood.

In a bid to create a souped-up masterpiece, one YouTuber decided to test one big theory on the unsuspecting pickup.

Known for his interesting car challenges, this time his plan was to generate a whopping 38,000hp.

However, once work got underway, there was only one way that it was going to end.

Turbos were added to power this Dodge truck to the max

The creator had the genius, or not-so-genius, idea of adding tens of turbos to his bright red Dodge truck.

The job was no easy feat, with his fabrication team needing to work out all of the logistics to ensure that the truck actually started up in the first place.

WhistlinDiesel is no stranger to pushing the limits in the car world, and this time, he took things to a whole new level.

“Obviously, this is going to affect the drivability of the truck,” said the creator as modifications got underway.

Before any of the turbos were added to the Dodge, the team tested how much horsepower it was able to produce in the first place.

Results came in at 397hp, so it was clear that the team had some hard graft in store to boost that level to what they wanted it to be.

The aim? To reach a level of 1 trillion.

Here’s how the influx of horsepower really fared

The goal was huge, but the creator tried his best to achieve it, and to his delight, power output was indeed boosted.

“We made like 15 PSI immediately,” said the creator.

After spraying the turbos to test the power levels, the mighty Dodge truck was taken to a truck show to really showcase what it was capable of, in front of other car enthusiasts.

However, it ended in a slight disaster.

The turbos installed quite obviously made the engine work harder and faster, meaning that lots of heat was generated.

As a result of the temperature, a small fire started, not forgetting the accompaniment of clouds of smoke.

All in all, the Dodge was given a huge power overhaul, and even though the level of 1 trillion wasn’t reached, the gloating levels must have been on par for WhistlinDiesel and his team.

You know what they say, though, a win is a win.
