And an attempt to actually contribute here...I bet a TrickFlow topped 360 at 11-1 would be pretty close to 500 without getting too wild with the camshaft.

You might be surprised a how many of those engines that are out there that don’t make that kind of power.

Every time I go to the track I’m surprised at how many 12 second 500 HP engines are out there.

I’d say your average 408 is making 470, maybe 480. Maybe.

Of course, some of that is piss poor component selection and horrible engine tuning.

Don’t get me started on the garbage chassis tuning I see. It’s horrible.
