yeah i think i remember seeing that too,it made some awesome power but to much for me,i dont have enough discipline to keep my foot off the pedal.LOL

 

I don't usually drive too fast, but I'm a horrorshow in a parking lot. My GF has finally learned that she needs to hang her head out the window to keep from choking and gagging..BFG's smoke a lot!!

 

My car is only around 400 at the crank, But that is low 12's and plenty of power. With slicks,not bfgs

 

not sure what mine will do yet ran 10s in my 87 irocz.maybe 11s thats more than enough for me.

 

I read about the motor in Hot Rod. Filed it in my "someday" mental bank. have you guys ever heard of Steve Morris Race Engines? He has the the current pump gas record for Procharged BB's. The last I new he was coming up on 1700 HP. On pump gas! I say record loosely because there is probably someone somewhere with one bigger. Anyhow his shop is almost in sight of my house and in sight of my inlaws. I see him from time to time at Martin US 131. I asked about his motors just chit chatting. He sells these beasts for about 40 grand. When I asked what the biggest issue people have when they call asking for help, he says "how do I detune this thing." I still laugh when I think about it. If you heard his Buick Roadmaster wagon running you would understand. It sounds like war.

 

wow 1700 hp thats insane especially on pump gas,yee haww now that would be fun pulling wheelies at every light on take off.

 

Fat chance of pulling wheelies with that much hp. Probably go up in smoke, and that's why people want to de-tune them.

 

But speaking of wheelies! A friend of mine is building a wheelie truck just for that purpose. He bought one of those tiny little snubnose import trucks and set a smallblock Chevy in the bed with a marine drive behind it to run back to the rearend.
It looks like this rig:


If you can imagine a smallblock sitting right over the rear axle, with headers turned upside down and pointing backwards! I think it will be tough to NOT do a wheelie just taking off normally! I'll try to get a pic of it soon, as it's tough to imagine it without seeing it for real!

 

yeah i know,i cant even put 583 hp to the ground what in the world would i do with 1700 kind of rediculous if u ask me,i was just being funny,its a beautiful day here in michigan,if i even had 40 grand it wouldnt be spent on that it would buy a matching pair,71 and 73 camaro,my favorites.

 

wow i bet that wheelie trucks gonna be awesome is it for the street or for the track,heck if i could even hook up 583 rwhp,it would pull a nice wheelie.also 630 rwtq thats whats gonna pull the wheelie
