His SBC was 434 inches, 14:1 CR, and used some weird heads with BBC ports (I'm not a Chevy guy, so don't remember the exact head). I witnessed it make just a tad over 600hp on the engine dyno when it was built. If you don't believe that, maybe you just need to get better at building motors. Hell, Jeff Lawrence was getting 600 hp out of Chevy V6s for Vinny Barone's Super Comp motors.
As for challenging Mr.Bruce, how about this..... Why don't YOU contract him to build a Cheetah that does 215 mph, and prove us all wrong. If one can do it back in the 60s, think of how fast of a Cheetah you can build with today's technology. Gotta be a 300 mph car at least.
