well with a dual quad set up and big *** intake, worked heads, huge headers probably alot. then add a shot of NO2 and another 100-200 hp ontop of that. 289s are good little high windin motors

I would rather see a 302 roller cam motor built. It really wouldn't cost but a few hundred bucks more and they can take and do alot more if you ask me.
