Well the reason we did this is because everyone is always saying that you need a cobra engine to get that much horse. well apperently thats bull. i was really surprised we got that much out of it. we were running around 18-19 PSI. the block was almost fine but almost all the pistons/rods broke. the one that did survive we noticed that only 2 valves hit the suface hard, the third one barley left a mark. But yea for all the newbs that want just power and nothing else this is a good thing to look at. it takes proper/ responsible tuning to get that much horse. ill get some more pics up, and some of the other engines we are testing right now at roush.

Oh so you guys were just testing to see how what would happen if you squeezed all that hp out of a stock engine? Man what a waste of money...

pffft. i'm sure you can get 650HP out of a stock GT, right before it blows up too.
