Some might not agree with the red car's #s, but it laid down 618rw, had 17-20% drivetrain loss stock according to conventional wisdom, and lost 7% more from mods. That equals 24% + in my book (800 x 76% = 608).
Through your drivetrain and with that stall, 800 all day long. And 800 hp also corresponds pretty good with your 4k lbs and trap speed.

Lots of 9's and 10's on the IRS, that is not going to hold me up at all.

What does your plate read? At least WA state requires a front plate, I will just be reading it backwards.

Yes JR, that is what I said. SVT offices were located in the Roush complex, and the Roush engineers helped engineer the motor, but it was still built by FORD on the DAP production line......

Tryin to call me out JR, I can still whip your *** with the FOCI

I know I'm late to this p!ssing contest, but the '69 Yenko Camaros rolled off the Chevrolet production line as 427 Camaros [along side your granny's 6-cylinder car], and Yenko simply added stripes/decals...there were an estimated 1,000 or so 427 Camaros produced in 1969, but only 198 were lucky enough to have passed through Yenko Chevrolet.

You are right,

you are late, and incorrect I might add.

Not enough produced even over the 67-69 era


And even if there were, they were not fast enough.

Thanks for playing,

Ken

Google is my friend.
1967
Yenko ordered L-78 equipped SS Camaros and swapped in the Chevrolet Corvette's L-72 427 in³ (7.0 L) engine. The cars came with a 4.10 rear end and heavy-duty suspension. The exact number of cars produced is not known; most estimates are around 50. Yenko also installed a fiberglass replacement hood similar to the "Stinger" hood featured on 1967 big-block Corvettes.


1968
Encouraged by the success of the 1967, Yenko continued installing the L-72 engines at the dealership. A total of 65 cars were produced. All cars came equipped with the M-21 close-ratio four speed manual transmission. A large, twin-scooped hood replaced the "Stinger," and Yenko badges graced the sides and tail light plate.


1969
For 1969, the dealership worked with Chevrolet to have the L-72 engines installed on the factory assembly line using a Central Office Production Order or COPO. The orders also included power disc brakes, a 4.10 Positraction rear end, a stronger front stabilizer, and a heavy-duty 4-core aluminum radiator. Buyers had the option of either the M-21 four speed or the Turbo Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission. A total of 201 cars were sold in 1969: 171 four speeds and 30 automatics. Yenko rounded out the visual package with front and rear spoilers, a cowl-induction hood, special "Yenko 427" badges, twin stripes down the flanks and hood, and the sYc (Yenko Super Camaro) badge.
