GM Releases 2013 bogus HP ratings at PRI show

[Charley Downing]

No Andie , between 442-453 is all HP we could get out of the new motor at big stuffs two weeks ago. With good pistons .70 over, killer stocker ring package and a new set of killer heads. And one of the best tuners in the country. No matter how good of parts we have we still only have 281CI to work with.
There is not that much to gain with this new stuff. The factory part are really good. We spent over 14 grand on the new motor with all kinds od stocker tricks and picked up 12-15 HP over the old mostly stock stuff wich made 440 HP.
I might be able to make 490-500 HP with a SS intake, SS pistons, SS heads and a few other SS things, but I still think 480-490 HP is around the max for a SS motor.

If you dad likes coming just to hang out he should be more like Bob and not care what the new cars are doing. Just where to eat.
