The previous engine was a C5R aluminum block 427 ci, making 930hp. The 8.75 at 153 pass was with the C5R and jerico 4 speed at 3200 lbs.

The current setup is an LSX iron block 433ci making 1001. This past weekend it went 8.58 at 157 with the LSX 433 and liberty 5 speed at 3500 lbs raceweight.

Hope that clears up the confusion.
