Default RE: 66 Hemi vs all other engines.

Sorry about that, they wanted me to do some work here at work. Anyways the Hemi was factory rated at 425 HP and the dyno pegged out over 800 HP. Man I just about hit the floor. I've heard numbers over the years, but this blows me away. Then the Chevy 427 rated at 425 HP was the last on the dyno and it pushed out a 525 HP figure. The Hemi won hands down, but in my mind they are all winners. Who would of thought that they would put out what they did. Just makes me proud to own a small piece of the action. They are going to have a Engine Dyno 2 and some of the engines they will test AMC-390, Buick-455, Chevy-454 and Olds -455. Can't wait to see how they fair. If you saw this segment let me know what you thought about it. We have bragging rights until then.
