To the point

Re: To the point
You didn't quote anyone so I am not sure who you were referring to, but, who said 500 horsepower to the wheels was happening all motor? I said why not just build a 350 and run a shot of Nitrous to reach his goals as opposed to the blower if he is bent on the engine making 300 horsepower or more naturally aspirated. It would defeat the purpose of dropping thousands of dollars on a blower set to make only 5 to 8 pounds of boost. He should be targeting 250 to 275 horsepower with good vacuum at idle, then run upwards of 15-psi of boost pressure. He's be a lot happier overall if it is a street car.
Especially when he is only targeting 500 horsepower.

Re: To the point
I was about to say the same thing, back the freaking train up. I'm not talking about wheel horsepower.
500whp would be what, like 630 flywheel horsepower? I mean, it's possible the round track guys do it, but it's not something you would ever want to drive on the street. Or without earplugs. Below 7500 rpm.

A sbc could do it but needs 406-434 cubes with a big 200's cc head lol. Another member here years back had a single plane efi 406 with custom ported 210 afr casting. Made 512 whp thru t56 lol solid roller pump gas. Stout
Automatic would be difficult
