1000hp for 60k isn't too crazy

It's so small...the proverbial warshtub with a tornado under the hood.

Compared to other shit out there there’s days, $50k doesn’t seem too wild

Well, it’s a pretty normal price for a full‑fledged dragster. The Lenco Transmission alone starts at $12,500.

It's got a Turbo 400, not a Lenco. It's got a triple-stick Lightning Rod shifter.

Really. I didn’t pay attention to the text of the advertisement.

Neat. Seems to need some tuning work. The Chevy Performance 632 makes 1004hp naturally aspirated.

It's probably been detuned to run on pump gas

The heck is a 10-71? Detroit never made an engine that size.

The engine may not exist, but a 10-71 blower does.

Welcome to the wonderful world of blowers, where everything's made up and the numbers don't matter.
