What an even bigger JOKE try putting any so called 60s MONSTER MUSCLE CAR on a Dyno Jet .Last year Bob Ida Dynoed both a Vintage 440 Magnum and a 429 Boss.Both cars were restored to bone stock factory engine specs.After thorough tuning the 440 made 280 to the tires and the King of Nascar Boss 429 made 310 at the tires.

I agree with you 1bad but it is hard to believe aint it. 20 years ago I had a hopped up 71 455 ** that I vary rarely lost in, but when I got my RT/10 I wondered if I just thought my ** was fast or if I didn't have the balls I used to have.
