500,600... that car would run what, less than a second in the 1/4? assuming you could get traction?
It depends on the weight, traction, etc. Although to have that much horsepower, you're talking a frame that will withstand it, the weight of the fuel, and not to mention it would literally be a rocket. The space shuttle's engine puts out 12M hp for referance.

it depends on your engine. my new motor displaces 283 cubes, and with my ported pi heads and a custom cam, i was going to be making over 700 rwhp on about 18-20 psi. I'm deploying before the car can be finished, so i'll be selling the motor. too bad, i wanted to do it.!! maybe when i get back. on a stock pi motor, 10 psi with bolt ons and a tune is good for 400 rwhp. with my heads, a 281 4.6 would make about 450-475 hp, and with 15 psi about 600. there's a guy (his car was in (MM&FF recently, silver GT) that made 663 rwhp with a T trim on 302 stroker. it all comes down to your setup. MM&FF built a 655 hp votech engine with comp 270's, and when they put pi cams back in it it lost 105 hp.

i could go on forever with variables and examples, but you get the idea. do you have a specific application in mind?

How about 7,000 horsepower?



I took this pic when I went to the NHRA Winternationals a few months ago.

because i dont want it to sit for a year.

when i get back, i'll either keep it n/a and just race it and buy another mustang for the street, or i'll build an even nastier combo.

Good info BC. that's interesting to hear that MM&FF lost that much HP just by switching the cam. If I do do it which will not be untill I get some money. I'm broke at the moment but if I go that rought I would get alot of advice from an engine builder and my tuner. If I dropped in a new short block I would deffinetely try to come up with the cash for the heads, cams, and intake manifold though not to mention trans and converter and so on. Where are you being deployed to? Can't you pick up where you left off when you get back?

Well good luck in kuwait. I guess if you have to go over there kuwait would be one of the safest places these days. See if you can get on the forums from kuwait and let us know how it is. You should bring your 700HP Mustang over there and show'm how it's done. J/K
