Some were VERY close.
It made 596HP and 515TQ. The only thing I didnt like about this combo was the torque, and that due to the Victor Intake. We would have done better with a M1, Super Victor or Street Dominator. These were not an option as the customer has a very tight hood clearance issue and the Victor is the only thing that would fit.
Plus its a light car, around >2700# and taking a bit of bite out of the bottom end will help it hook a little better without blowing the tires off.
All in all, damn near 600HP, flat tappet, pump gas with PROCOMP heads, Im happy.
