I was just wanting to know what hp/torq ratings you got from spending around $5000. Just to kinda get a concept of money to hp/torq. Thanks Michael >> I have roughly 500 HP and close to 600 lbs of tire smokin torque :). This was actually the second motor I have had in this car. The first one blew up at the track. That one was pushing about 475 HP, and I built it for 2500 including me buyin the engine and having it machined. The only reason the second motor cost me so much was the fact that I put new everything in it including a forged crank/rods, and had it balanced. i got most of the extra horsepower from porting the heads.
