70 Cuda at school

[kgrubb]

just thought you i'd share this with you guys. The car is a 70 barracuda we had in class with i think is a 400 bored and stroked to a 451 not completly sure what all it has done to the motor but we put the car on the dyno and it made 505hp which i thought was kinda low. well just thought i'd share it with you because i was going through my pictures found it.

505 is nice street HP but that thing looks like it is purpose built so I agree it sounds low, cool thing to have at school though lol.

nice car, what school are you at?

[kgrubb]

i was at wyotech in blairsville pennsylvania but i graduated in june. plus from what i can gather the car was spinning the tires on the dyno so we couldn't really get an accurate number.

Nice ride!

505 at the wheels will move a race car pretty fast I suspect.

I think most would be surprised by how little RWHP most cars actually produce. 505 is actually pretty reasonable when you consider that most people's 450 horse big blocks are only really putting 250-300 to the ground.

the eagle talon on the dyno in the backround made over 900hp with the stock 2.0 block and crank.

Holy Crap! What did they do to that thing?

You guys were lucky. All we have in our auto shop class at school is crappy Hondas and Ford tanks.

That 'Cuda looks cool!   As for the Talon putting down 900 AWHP, I know of several 900-1,100 AWHP 3000GT VR-4's and Stealths throughout the states...That would be crazy to thoroughly smoke all four through first and second...I spun mine with an untuned 330/340-ish crank hp ( <---me when it happened).
