Funny thing about this engine is that the customer who brought it in bought it at the track from a guy who was pissed at poor performance. Guy was so mad he sold the engine for $10K at the track. Probably cost close to $40K to build an engine like this with all new parts.
Not the first time I have seen or heard of 900+ hp BBC motors that are not running ET's according to weight and HP.
I drove one last year that was 900 hp and 300 lbs lighter than my crate and ran the exact same ET.
Sometimes big honking carbs, intakes heads and header pipes and dyno numbers don't equate to quick ETS at the track.
Made a lot of noise though!
