Where is the 800 foot mark? That is the new finish line under this scenario. Old cars can't change their tail lights and get a new combo with a fresh factor.

Safe to say a 396/400 Camaro makes north of 600 HP with a Wikle or Tilburg engine and that is about 1.5 Horsepower per cube. This is with a dual plane intake, Holley 780 Vac secondary carb, solid lifter .520 lift cam and heavy internal organs. This combo is factored at roughly 1 HP per cube.

Now advance forward to 2014 and look at the engine design! 2.0 HP per cube easily attainable with this design so how do you justify starting a 396 COPO out at 390 HP when it runs past 800 HP easily?

I think starting out these highly tuned race engine stockers at about 1.25 HP per cubic inch would be a pretty fair place to start.
