Default 1096 HP blown Small block!

This article doesn't go into all the fine details. But i was going to contact this shop in Upland California that built this motor for the test.

Simple centrifical ATI blow through carb design. I made some assumptions on how they got 414 ci. It's a 3.875 stroker 4.125 bore aftermarket block like my Mowtown.

Let's throw that into a boat, get drunk and speed down the lake at night.

PS Have you ever noticed whenever someone starts a story with "I knew a guy who had a boat with a ___-block Chevy that made something like (number greater than 500) horsepower" it eventually ends with how this person died/was paralyzed/flew into a house?
