depends on the build, it will either be close or he will get you by a car or 2 IMO if he has the average type 383 build

There are so many unknown factors how could anyone even begin to speculate....

Don't know the ecxact build yet. I don't think he even knows, he is getting it build by someone else. Also forgot to mention, he is coming to this el camino from having a prelude. And now he wants to run for some cash

if he is coming from a prelude i doubt it will be a well thought out build with good money invested. I bet you will have him covered.

true, likely wasted a ton of money on shitty MSD boxes and other random garbage instead of good heads and some compression

also not sure how well an el camino can hook up the torque a decent 383 would toss out

and now that I think about it he prolly has more weight than I think total so I'm leaning more towards you making him look dumb

Hopefully u guys are right. Money is on the line. And my *** agreed to run for money lol. He said he has. List of mods and his prediction is 497hp. I call BS

what gears?

Not sure. He is trying to get a rear end for it and I think that would be done.

He said he was having someone else build it. Maybe the builder knows the right parts to buy. That is typically how it works right?

Hmm tough one, depends on suspension too, so he has all ths power but b-bodies, elkos especially have traction issues and roll to the passenger side hard, plus it has no weight over the rear tires, do you happen to have some giggle juice just in case?

mannyman84

iTrader: (2)

No juice. All motor

497HP sounds to me like he pulled that number out of the deep dark depths of his ***, maybe if he keeps digging around in there he might find his head, just go smoke his *** and take his money then rub in how you only have around 327.6575HP and you just smoked his ***.
