Ok, before you answer, let me explain what I mean.
I'm looking thru the ad's, and I see one for a 580 hp street driven 67 Chevelle. Sounds cool to me, and I'm thinking that it's probable a BBC.
No, it's a 430 hp 383 with a 150 NOS hook up. Now, don't get me wrong, this is a respectable motor, but I fail to see how this can be advertized as a street-able 580 hp.
Am I wrong to expect that 580 (or any other #) be an "actual, real time" HP, or is this just the wayt of the future? In my eyes, this is a 430 hp car, with the ability to hit 580.
And if this is to be really seen as a 580 engine, would any of you like to buy a 455 hp straight 6? I'm sure I can find someone to fabricate a plate for it that'll hook up to a 300 hp bottle system.
So, do you think that NO hould be included in the advertized HP rating of an engine?
