It is probably the most consistent COPO that I own.
The throttle body is the same one that's on my 302. The cylinder heads are the same castings as the 396/375. I have a pretty good idea of how Chevrolet's test session went. I also have my own data. I ordered the car with the understanding that the HP would be 430. The 500 HP rating that the combination was given is a big disappointment to us.
As delivered, the 572 made just a little over 720 HP on Jeff's engine dyno. My 302 made right around 600 HP on Holley's when I lent it to them to test the Terminator X.
I have no doubt that there is room to pick the combination up. We are experimenting with some stuff right now. I just can't bring myself to throw a big pile of money at this car.

Come now!
I saw that combo go 8.7’s in SS trim with my own eyes!
