Yup.......... and really its more like a 10,000rpm small block i just don't do it because i like only having to replace my valve springs once a year not 5.

Proof? He doesn't need proof. I know this car very well and it is exactly what Demon said it was. A 360 ci, NA, 9K+ RPM motor with an Auto trans and it is NASTY. I have raced this car over and over again and believe me, it is fast as ****.

That was my Gallardo racing the ZR1 in the video. We will both re run the ZR1 once he gets his mods done. Might be late in the season before he gets them on though.

Good lord. That thing has to have one hell of a cam in it. My old man doesnt let the camaro near that high. 9300 on pump gas is no small feat. You probably have some masterful head work done. Nice setup.

Damn nice kill man!!! I'd think that it would need no explaining for running over 9k on pump, no friggen way. Especially with that set up. Awesome car though. I love the IROC's

That is one wicked setup on that IROC!!! 9k rpms, 360ci, 600+hp, I wonder how much your motor has in common with Jimmie Johnson's cup car

Very difficult though not impossible, weve done it a few times. more depends on how much customer is willing to pay. we= Couch's Automotive Racing Services.

Guys there are N/A SBC that make over 1000hp. You can buy used nascar SB2.2 stuff that makes 800hp out of a 355" engine. Step outside of LSX land and check out massive solid roller cams, spider intakes, del west titanium valve train setups, etc etc. Even the 1980's GM 18 degree bowtie stuff makes killer power. Very nice demon2003 and the guy in the ZR1 can bang some gears.

Cool, but what's the point of a dyno video without showing the numbers?
