I have heard from a pretty reliable source that there have been many issues with this engine making that much power. There are rocker stand/rocker arm issues that seem to be coming from the head casting itself. Last I heard, they still didn't have that remedied. I hope they get it fixed because 600+ horsepower it just when it's starts getting fun.   :burnout:  Not sure how it will run on the dragstrip with traction control turned on though....    :dunno:

The 392 dips well in to the 12's with 470 HP engine, don't think with  640 HP will have any problem breaking into the 11's. There is also an 8 speed automatic with O/D, talk about torque multiplication.
