Got a HP question?
I was looking at a 89 with the engine changed and was wondering what kind of power I should expect if I were to purchase this car? This is all the owner could tell me about the engine can anyone let me know a range for hpr and trq. Thank you.

You say it has 4:56 gears?...sure sounds like a dedicated 1/8 mile drag car to me...it better redline at 7500 or you might not make it to the traps in the 1/4 mile before you run out of rpm...
