The last time I ran it was with 12.20's and around 114 mph)( that was before the 540 & F-2 Pro-Charger. Besides the engine setup it runs a built 4l80 with a 9 in. Detroit locker, 35 spline axles, 2500 stall convertor, the power train is built on the heavy duty side for sure.
After I built the motor I took it down to be dynoed (just motor) and it made about 680 at 5200 the torque was about 775 at 4300.
with the addition of the supercharger and at a max of 15 pounds of boost it'll reach 1330 hp and the torque is up in the 1450ish area. I built my nephews 72 and it's a 454 100 over 13 to1 lot of everything runs low to mid 10's, 456 spool. It's street legal so he wanted to run my car, his car 3525 lbs. my car 4350 lbs. we ran & he got me out of the gate but it wasn't long before I was able to reel him in. We have the Famoso drag strip here and they won't even let this car run. If you can run under an 11.50 you HAVE to run the roll bar inside and I'm not going there, it's not a drag car and I don't want to alter any of the insides to do so, its just for fun and absolutely a blast to have on the street. Here's some pics of the 72 I put together for my nephew.
THANKS TO THE DUDE FOR THE FEEDBACK !!!!!

Not gonna lie, I couldn't even imagine what over 1000hp feels like. Must be a lot of fun!

THE DUDE My uncles Laguna that hooked me on these cars when I was 13 was 750 HP @ 13 years old you s**t your self in a car like that, I can not even imagine blurping the throttle w/ 1000 hp at the other end

Hears the deal, a friend of mine kept inviting me to go help him look at older style muscle cars to buy. After about 2yrs. & 20-30 cars some turn key some projects which I offered to help him with. I told him because he's not a hands on guy, just to go down and pick out a showroom brawler, you know gets 20+ mph you & your wife can drive it in & out of town, has ac . He got the little GTO with the 405 hp engine and took over to have a Magnacharger blower put on with about 6-7 pounds boost reprogram the computer to put out about 600 hp. So then he wants to run my 73 which at the time just had the 540 (no blower at this time). We ran 3 times and it just ended up being who got the jump, the cars ran straight up. It was the 1st. time I had shifted into 4th.. His speedo. was hitting upwards of 140 and we would shut down, both cars were still pulling hard but we didn't have much room on a 2-lane. I decided then that I wasn't going to be letting these showroom bullies beat up on my 73 in the near future, soooooo I spent about $12,000 to arm the Chevelle with the F-2 Pro charger set up. I've been hit on a few times, Z06, cobra with blower, and ya out of the gate it hurts even with the MT drag radials but once it starts hooking up It's on. They always want to know whats in it, I tell them somewhat and they want to go again
The good thing about this combo is you can drive it anywhere, the heat out here gets upwards of 105 and in town still runs in the 190-200 range, it's been to several out of town functions , from Sacramento to L.A.. You know once you get more power than you need, it's very hard to hook up under throttle, but lots of fun to have. Thanks for the notes!!!!!!!

Whoa Nelly! Can't decide which one I like better. :-P.....

LOL...of course! I was referring to the engine set ups. Should have been more specific.

Quote of the month right there! LoL

Absolutely beautiful car. Loved the quote as well! Makes you wonder how many speed parts have been sold over the years because we got beat at a stoplight????? I know how much of my money they've gotten! Your money was well spent!

Seen your car on another site with girls standing by it. LOL.. Really dig the color and the blower. More power then I could handle responsibly.
