840 hp @3200 lbs. Thats what it should run. My geuss is its lighter than you think. Perfect example of accurate dyno #s matching track performance. Dyno's are a measuring device and need to be calibrated often to stay accurate. They are also easily fooled by entering in inaccurate data points. Temp, water grains, barometric pressure all change results. So you guys who have "840 Dyno tested HP" and the car doesn't perform near that good, what does that tell you? Exactly! Except you hastily misspelled 'guess' lolol.

It would need 840 hp uncorrected. This is street car. Is it running through exhaust? Looks like its got a pretty loose converter by the 60-330 incremental. 3200 with driver is pretty light for a GM A body. Especially with all the street equipment. Either it's really sorted out. Or it has some HP enhancement. Doug

No roll cage (although it is on the agenda). Street car that he drives on a regular basis. 67 Olds Cutlass that his parents bought new. He had an aftermarket big block Olds built. Made 840 hp on the dyno.
I figured it would run high nines given that its a street car without a race suspension and should be relatively heavy.
9.12 @ 149 mph+! I find that crazy!
Not to nitpick but man some of those East coast tracks are fast, real fast. Especially in the Fall.

Well I can tell you it has no power adders for sure. I am assuming it makes north of 840 hp. What it really weighs I don't know........
It is a 560 cubic inch. It does have a chevy overdrive tranny with lockup converter.

I'm gonna guess it's lighter than you think too.
Good looking Olds.

Nice build. A race engine run on the street. The car looks very deceiving as well. Pretty impressive. And I'll go with my last comment. Those involved with this build are smarter than me. Doug deep pockets and determination.
