Default 800hp!!!

I went to a local cruise in tonight there was a 71 Chevelle there that dynoed at a little over 800 horse. He is running a contest at who can guess hi ET. What do you guys think he will run. I will say low 9's.

I doubt it, unless he has some chassis work done.. Dyno # and ET are worlds apart..

How many times do you read Hot Rod mag. & see some Street Rod, or Pro Street car that has 600 - 900 HP but they NEVER show an ET..thats because those cars are not set up..

I could be 100% wrong, but to run low 9s you better have a good chassis set up..

I hate to say this but Panuzzo is RIGHT, I can't believe I said that :crazy:

HP means nothing if you don't have the total package and how would we know if he does??? :confused:
