69 Cobra,
I made reference to the 510 motor as a method of comparison one time. I called the little 281 motor the cousin of the 330 motor and said the 330 motor should given the same Horsepower. I still believe that. Did you see the first 200 mph run in nhra history or how about the first 286 mph run in nhra history? No BS they really happened.

Do you think they did that with the P-51? I don't see anyway the P-51 really makes 500hp. But did nhra make a good faith effort to determine that or did they just take Roush's word on it. To me its just advertised hp which is a selling scheme for Roush. How about the L88 motors? I read an article awhile back where they said those are very capable of making 800 hp and what are they rated at 430?

No, I did not see the first 200 mph pass or the first 286 mph pass. Probably because, the use of photography or videography was not commonly used by the general public at the time. But today it’s April 22, 2009 and you can't piss in your back yard without someone getting it on camera. You are claiming that this car makes 800 hp and this and that based on a phantom pass that nobody has seen. That's why I'm just saying until someone can show proof I'm calling BS!
