16.8:1? Is that the compression ratio??
Maybe it runs on diesel...

Man that is hairy
It don't take long it ads up quick over time. Spending that much all at once would be a stretch for me. But I would love to own it
Carbs and intake are about $7000 on there own

Pro Stock engines cost a lot more than that
It probably would.
For the racer who thinks. "Power adders are for Wussies!"
What starter is needed to crank that killer over? I would think anything 12 volt has long waved "Bye Bye." "Not a chance." Or at least not for very long.

You can afford the engine, then surely he can afford the fuel
I have that exact same engine in my daily driver!
28,500 is a fraction of what has been spent originally. Bet it sounds bitchin all wound up.

Just me, I think that it's a waste because it can't be driven much as it's not designed or built for that. The other night is the first time I watched drag racing in years.
A man can dream, can't he?

And you drive around on the rear wheels like a wheel stander...?
Make no mistake, that is NOT a "street" engine by any stretch of the imagination. I know, I know...... Define "street".

I like the races I don't like 1/8 mile so that may kill it for me. It isn't fun to watch a big tire car floor it for 1 to 3 seconds than done...

It's a power house, without a doubt
I knew that, I was doing the same thing.

Let the boy go !
Maybe when I hit Mega Millions!
Gotta be over 1,000 horse. Shares very BASIC architecture with the LA. Not ONE factory LA part on that thing. That's ok, though. I get it. To make that kind of power means using waaay better parts. Seeing this reminds of a "conversation" I was involved in awhile back....
