We get spun up because Hot Rod shows and mags have a history of slighting the Mopar crowd and doing a real crappy job of building demonstrator engines. In one instance, one magazine declined to build a Mopar small block using the claim that it would not finish under the budget cap. We got a real shot in the arm when MP put out the 360cid/380hp crate engine, which basically stuffed the Chevy and Ford small blocks by not only beating the hp they advertised, but by beating the MP advertised hp, hitting the 400hp mark out of the box.
