Local guy claiming 487 through an A4. Is this BS? This is his quote, "I have the magic stick for a cam, Partiot 6.0 heads buillet crank flat top flycut pistions by Diamond 6.0 block,1 7/8"supermaxx long tubes, with ORY and Borla back, Evl 3 trans Yank SS 4000 stall 3.73 gears and why not just a 275 shot ogf the go go juice. But no I didn't spray the Zo6. The car makes 487 to the wheels unlocked on motor alone with 110 fuel"
Does this sound possible? This car is from Stateville NC and its a white WS6 with purple/blue flames on it supposedly. Does anyone know of the car?

It's probablly a 408 ci motor. The numbers sound rather high, but anything is possible. If he had a better set of heads, I'd say maybe, but with the ones he has, it's just not likley.

Jason@TSP's 408ci engine did 480rwhp through a unlocked 3800 stall A4 and 780rwhp on the juice. I guess it depends on the displacement/compression whether or not this particular one is BS.

I mean,hell, he put a 4l60e in a ZO6.

because you will loose at least another 5-7% with the 4L60E, so 550 would be more like 500, and an unlocked high stall converter can kill 30-40 hp easily. I was assuming this was stock cube. If it is a 408 with AFR 225 and a huge cam, it might just make 487 unlocked, but I would still be somewhat skeptical.

I don't see why not...I made 448rwhp through a built 4l60e, with a pye 3600 stall on a nitrous tune, with et streets at 22psi and a 3.73 gear, stock cubes. This guy has a 6.0 block (stroked?) and a pretty radical cam. It's not unbelievable that with a high compression setup, and a lot of timing (racefuel) that it can't be done.
