Its a diesel engine, but feed on alcohol. Fitted with 4 super chargers.

The guys at Bang Shift managed to unearth a clip of tractor pull featuring one incredibly powerful machine by the name of Never Satisfied. Power supposedly came from an International DT466 diesel engine modified to suck down alcohol and force-fed over 200 pounds (!) of boost from four superchargers.

"Related videos - New Hyundai Electra 2011"

I wonder how far his pull was? I bet the driver does not have any facial hair left. I wonder how high the block got?

I'm pretty sure it bounced off the roof!
