The "assumptive" issue, you mean.

900 flywheel,..750-780rwhp...against a vehicle designed for the highway. IE, proper gearing. 750 should be enough to pull away from that thing but, poorly geared or poorly driven, well, things stack up in the negative against the Camaro quick.

That's what a 400hp difference looks like? Woulda said 100 if I just saw the vid and didn't know the details. Either way, a win is a win.
