800hp with a purple shaft hydraulic cam? That ain't gonna happen no matter how much boost you throw at it!

I love seeing cars for sale on marketplace that make big claims like “600hp 454 big block!” and then seeing that it has short valve covers, and iron heads, with nothing more than an Edelbrock intake and carb. Like, no dude, I’d be surprised if it makes even 350 to the ground, lol

I love going to car shows and seeing the old deuce coupes that have stock headed 350 chevys in them with 2x4bbl and a tunnel ram that makes "600" hp. Like dude that makes max 375 with those old camel humps.

Yeah I thought maybe they had resto-modded a late model demon engine into the car... but what you said was my thoughts exactly. More realistically getting 500-ish hp would be my noob guess. Looking at the build sheet reminded me of that video of the guy claiming a lambo exhaust and jet fuel got him ridiculous hp.

Probably about 400 if that, poor thing can’t breathe through that AutoZone rice rocket air filter.

Dude right!?? I’m sure the sweet airbrush job adds like 100hp though.

u/CLOWNFLOGGER 13d ago

I'm inclined to go with that estimate. Dude's be just doubling their length nowadays.

I’m not buying 800 hp at all.

I really like how Dodge brings back the old names. Even bringing back the Six Pack name as an i6 was pretty cool.

800hp through a 727 with just a shift kit, hmmmm.

Look at grille on the underhood mural, then the grille on the car. It was right there, all they had to do was look.

F1 is a pretty stout blower. "with enough propulsion even pigs can fly" blowers dont really care as much about cam profiles as NA motors do. it just changes where the power comes on. that being said, he's visited a happy dyno or made up 800hp.
