This is my Dad. And there's no excuses. I would ask him what was wrong with the car, but unfortunately he passed away on October of last year from Pancreatic Cancer. This car was his baby. We all signed the hood of it during his Celebration of Life. This is the only video I have that I can hear my Dad's voice and remember him. Thank you for your comment.

I feel your pain. My dad passed 2011. My brother and I took our 67 chevelle to the track after. As we did every weekend with him. I made one pass. Loaded it up. Parked it my shop. Put a cover on it. 5yrs ago. My brother took it redid all of it. And does shows. During the rebuild. We found a vid from his camcorder under the seat. It was off the last pass he made. And won a big shot out in memphis. We still watch it sometimes. Miss you pop.

For all those "not 1300" comments. Notice the 6-72 or W510 sitting under those carburators? On a mild BBC that thing only needs to turn around 10-14psi to kick out 1300hp (hell, with a good setup 7psi or less will get you 1k+). Those tiny air cleaners don't provide enough restriction to even come close to preventing the blower from making that amount of boost. It's not efficient, but it is totally doable.

Reminds me of the fun I had cruising my 65 El Camino on E Street San Bernardino back in the middle 70's. We never got shut down in 2 years of racing every Friday and Saturday night and raced all challengers no matter what size motor they had or what carb combo. We just ran one 650 Dual Feed Double Pumper and 11:1 TRW pistons, our cam was rated mostly strip, little street about 8000 was max hp produced. Todays factory 'hot rod' cars I see seem a bit slow to me, but what do I know.

I had a custom K&N type 12" filter that wrapped both carbs and had a hand made sheet metal bottom. I was on the dyno with a mild 509 with an 8-71 at 6-8 lbs of boost it was making 750 hp with no air filters just fresh air duct over carbs. I put those two little air filters on and the engine made 670hp the next pull. 80 hp loss just from little air filters. It takes ALOT of air to make 1300 hp!

If you say so. I've only been professionally drag racing and building race engines since 1969 so who am I to doubt it. It's very easy to claim 1300hp much,much harder to build a motor that honestly has 1300hp on a dyno. I've dynoed these kind of motors where the owner claims this kind of power figures. 90% of the time they are in for a very big disappointment when they see the honest dyno numbers. But, you just keep on believing what you wish. If you listen even the gentleman that owns it says the motor is having problems. It is a very nice car.

If you truly want to learn and see real 1000 plus horespower motors go to the race track watch and learn. Ask questions but not to many as most racers don't have time to just sit and answer questions. This car in the video is very nice but it is not any where close to being a competitive strip car. It's a good fun car with decent power for the street. Never be ashame to admit you don't know things. When a person can admit that and is willing to listen they will learn the most in the long run.
