428 Cobra Jet.

I guess I was just asking about the Booze brothers cars to show that they don't make much more than 500 RWHP with thier $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ FE.

500 RWHP is ALOT of power!

You can and do lose alot through the driveline.

I used to go watch those "dyno challange" competitions that were held at the local drag strips around here.

You would be surprised at some of the somewhat "lower" HP numbers these cars put out at the rear wheels?

These guys had real good combos and real fast cars it's just the HP they were making at the flywheel and the RWHP numbers were very different.

After you figure in the drive line losses you would have some very impressive flywheel numbers.
