I have almost 500 rear wheel horses
What engine do you have providing close to 500 hp at the rear wheel? I had a friend with a 455 bored to 468 with a tunnel ram and two Holley 850 carbs, Roller heads and mild cam burning CAM2. The engine produces 750hp. Minus about 20% hp at the rear wheel=600hp. This car was 8.90 (150mph) through the traps in the quarter mile. The engine was not on the bottle.
