Small block Olds, production block, single four barrel carb, no nitrous, just over 800hp. Very nice!

Here is the quote,
"The average power from 6800 to 8000 increased by 21hp and 25 foot pounds of torque over last seasons figures. The average HP now exceeds over 800 through a 1200 rpm curve. Expect to see some fast et's at Norwalk this year. Some hard work finally paid off this winter season. 50 percent of the power gains over the winter season came just from the attention given to the short block components, same compression, same cubic inches as the past three years. The other 50 percent came from a cheap bolt on item. See ya at Norwalk."
This one will be in the rail shown in the pic. would be great to see on the water though.

I found that pic on nitronic reaserch, some guys building two blown rails, and they use an old dodge wagon for a tow car, bitchen stuff.

If that's a "real" Olds, what kind of heads are you running, Batten, Edelbrock? Looks killer!

Edelbrocks won't cut it for that sort of power as far as I understand.
This guy is running Batten cylinder heads.
