iTrader: (12)
long block was said to be around 425, and then i upgraded the valvetrain, i never dynoed it myself and never got around to properly tuning it(carb and timing) then i was forced to sellt he car. I had bought back the drivetrain about a year ago since i had so much money into it. If i remember correctly, it was speed-o-motives sportsman engine in 1999/2000. When i built it, i was working at a shop and me and my boss estimated the engine should eb capable of putting a 3rd gen in the mid 12's. But after i sold the car, no one since had adjusted anything or even adjusted the valves so the thing was making limited power. With the valvetrain upgrades and other stuff, i think we were thinking it was to be in the 475hp range.
