Well, since the first one was never built I don't have high hopes of a 600 hp one ever being built either. So when is your beast going to be back on the road?

The 500 hp engine is on the back burner right now due to the other 17 engines and counting i have to build,plus all the other cam swaps,head and cam swaps and everything else we are doing.Rest assured though,the 500rwhp is in the works.

Do they look at the cats? I don't remember them doing that last time I got it inspected. Will they pass you without a front plate?

Sounds like you could use some help...

While I said I was sceptical (and still am) when that whole thing originated, I was still interested to see how it came out. Let's hope it happens some time in my lifetime, lol.

A 7 huh? That's pretty fast. As for the 600 hp car, that must be a LS7ish build unless I am missing something.
