One engine. Cost to duplicate would be roughly $20,000.

At 11:1 compression I wouldn't go over 5-7psi. The cam would definitely have to be changed.

For an aggressive street engine that could be tuned for pump 93, I totally agree.

x2. A lot of people don't understand that.

Also, I bet this engine could handle a 300 shot and not miss a lick.

Not taking sides, just explaining what he's saying.

I have to agree here...

this is a little weak for a 396 when a 346 is capable of over 600FWHP when you consider that they put down 500RWHP now a days...

But then again, if this was built years ago, you have to consider that that HP was a big deal a few years back. It was only 2003/4 when 450RWHP H/C was CRAZY numbers...
