The engine might make 400hp but the wheels won't be. Did he mention what suspension he had?

i think he'll probably get the jump on you (just because of his extra torque), but after the first 100 ft, you'll rocket by him. that car cant have any top end on it with those heads. i can see 400tq, but no way 400hp.

this is assuming he can drive out of the hole.

and a 351W crank weighs the same as your whole rotating assembly...

top end (well, relatively speaking) FTW
