Default Did ya see this?

This is from a thread over on that other place. LINK
I believe the motor was built by VA Speed but I don't really know anything about it. Looks bad-ass though!

If I recall it's a 440CI engine that dyno'd at 860hp N/A @ close to 8000 RPM.

With a direct port setup like that plumbed on top of it, "Oh Snap!" might be the best descriptive words possible.

Very cool drag car project.
