She did 501whp and 518wtq. I cannot praise Muscle Motors enough. This thing drives like a pussycat, anywhere. Smoothest carb motor I've ever been around. Until you lean on it.....
wish I knew how to upload a video. not bad for pump gas and a carb!

that's awesome power at the wheels. At first I was thinking where all the power was in that motor??? Then I went back and saw it was on a chassis dyno (and you specified whp/wtq)!

Oh yea, WHEEL HP and WHEEL Torque! big difference. And agreed. 500 ain't easy to come by at the tires.

Great! It Should be fun. What do you think for HP at the crank maybe close to 600? Definitely shows displacement makes a difference.

around that, yep. Its definitely got factor, but 1st gear is a joke and at 4K it starts spinning again in 2nd. running 295's on the back (radials) cuz slicks break stuff... this was not built to be a race car, I was chasing a "sound" (63? max wedge car that was at carlisle in '16 and haven't seen it since.) got the sound, spent more than I wanted to on motor tho. HAHA
