Actually the stock Chevy 350 had around 320 horse power which is plenty for a truck that just hauls crap. If you wanna get high hore power i have a 89 Mustang with a built 427 and nitrous. It has around 850 horse at the wheels. If thats not enough then a friend has a street legal 87 Mustang with i have no clue under the hood that runs 8.1s constantly. We think its somewhere around 1300 horse power but someone at the strip said it has to be alot more then that of rthe car to run that fast.
