So you are turbo, I am really excited to see the pictures of your engine! It is a ton of work to get a 5.7 past 550

Although I am still very excited that you squeezed this out of the 5.7 that is not a great engine (I have had 15 or so)they are rough to increase. So turbo? No way you got there with a blower

But who uses flywheel hp when arguing stats?

That’s like measuring from your taint to the tip.

Given most people don't understand rwhp, you need to dumb it down some times and honestly, hp doesn't mean S. Average power and torque are the better descriptors but again, most only understand flywheel hp and my points being proven by hp being the only metric used here

Its not a 5.7. Its a sleeved 7.1 liter block with a callies 4.00 stroker crank, 434 ci. If I did it again, yeah, "id go 388ci and twin turbos, much more livable

Is it 700??
720 ish at the flywheel on motor, so yes.
A Redeye Challenger would be a better choice at this power level though. This is too much work to make this power NA, a redeye needs nothing but gas and could be at 1000hp with a pulley change.

This car is a money pit at this point, nothings cheap anymore to hold the power or increase the power. Boost is far easier to live with and cheaper in the long run.
