New Ford 5.0 On The Books

Who would build one at 412hp and a 7.33 weight brake? This motor in stock eliminator trim is only going to make 475-525hp max. Compare this motor with a combo like Greg’s 71 350ci/315hp.
Remember there are not the hp gains with new cars like we use to see. A combo like this 302 mustang may only make 75-120hp more going from street to stock eliminator because of better factory parts. While a 1980’s 305 may make 180hp over its factory rating.

Terry how can you get a NHRA enhancement if your not a member and don't race??????
