Terry's right enhanced is the word when I started racing in 96 my motor was a stock motor no stainless valves etc it made 280 horsepower.I have been asked the same question many times about how did i get that 283 to run so fast.One thing u have to consider is we have slicks and a lot of rear gear and spin these motors very high in RPM.For a stick car we have clutches u wouldnt want to run on the street,if you run an automatic u will have 3-4 torque convertors at $2000 a pop.
