Default Steve Petty tune

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m70XP7f-m0

I thought this was pretty cool especially under the circumstances

Tuned By Steve Petty. 88mm Turbo, Big Stuff 3 408" Windsor, Stock Block, Trick Flow R Heads, Super Victor, Stock 8548-PT2 Fle-Pro Head Gaskets, Powerglide, 3.55 Gears, 325/50 Drag Radials. 876 Rwhp @ 5500 rpm with 16#'s of Boost

Pretty crazy on a stock block! I guess he knows what hes doin after all!

Yeah it was water. There was already a trail there before he punched it. But where would the water come from? Surely he didnt have the AC on. I doubt that car even has an ac.

Stock Windsor blocks aren't meant to handle that kind of power!!

Stock Block is where its at. Those aftermarket blocks are a waist of money.

I'll agree to that in terms of windsors. Stock block windsors can see a 1000hp. 302s on the other hand sneeze and hiccup at 450 and decide to split on you. Alot of its in the tune, but for the RPMs and power its definately impressive. Thats a bad car.

I was going to say, I would have to see that. They are stronger than a 302 block though..

I agree Windsor blocks can handle more than a stock block 302. 1000hp no. It is not recommended to go above 750-800hp. he is definetly pushing the edge!!!
