Darren has done a few cars for Python in the past. He recently re did the sidepipes on George's own car.

Fords are better? They are both good, it's just another way to skin the cat.

For 610HP I bet it had lots of special bits bolted to the inside of it as well. I doubt there was much standard Ford stuff left in it. Did it have factory heads?

My point all along is that the LS1 can make some good numbers with basically stock factory components.

Garretts car made 550HP on a factory stock bottom end, original factory heads with a little porting, bigger cam and springs but the rest of the valve train is stock. Factory manifold, throttle body and fuel rails etc just bigger injectors to feed the beast. and only 7 pounds of boost too.

Cheers
