actually, he's upped the power level since then as he was "accidentally" using 14psi spings and is now at either 16 or 18 psi and says the car is Much faster than when he last dynoed it and would guess it's in the 850rwhp range, still on pump gas Only, no meth or any other assistance, just an air to air intercooler. at only a 15% drivetrain loss, keeping in mind he's got a th400 & 17" tires, that comes out to exactly 1000 fwhp. so the math at his current power level checks out. but i don't think he'd have anything to be ashamed about if it did "only" make 752rwhp.
