Now That Is Some Serious Power!!!
 
I was watching horsepower T.V today and saw the strangest show ever. First they had in the shop and were talking about/showing dyno video of a 780(?) cubic inch G.M. motor making 880 hp and 1000 lb ft. N/A. It was pretty sweet, and then they said how you could punch it out to 1000 Ci!!!! That is huge!

So i was happy, but then they went to the total extreme, and i meen TOTAL! They showed us the shops new project, a honda civic, looks like a DX. They dyno'd it and spun out a WHOPPING 87 fwhp! Then after, and i shoot you not, $1000.00's invested they turned out an earth shaking 97 fwhp!! And the sad part is that the ricer doing the work was soooo impressed that he took it out and did a blistering peg legged attempted burn out for the camera. I was laughing so hard i could have died. For $400.00 bucks he could have added a 75 shot and had enough left over to buy a cheap gun and put him self out of the misery that is trying to tune a crap box like that and make it be a cool thing to do! Such a sad little man. Later

I don't know what was in it. My roommate was watching some girly chick flick and i had to fight the cable remote with our universal remote just to see what I did. I want one though. I did see the twin t-bodies, one at each end of the intake plenum. It looked bad arse and had some monster exhaust ports in the aluminum heads. I want to throw some boost at it and see what comes up! Light Em Up!!!:)

OOPS edit! I thought you said what was in it, not what it went in. It was just on a stand with all kinds of drool and bodily fluids all over it . I wanted them to put it in the honda, that would be off the hook, just plane insane! J/K

If they put it in a Honda where the hell would you sit? Cause that is about the size of a honda. lol :D
