I have a 420 HP 347 motor in my fully modified 66 coupe. We are spraying a 200 HP shot of nitrous at full throttle. Me and my mechanic went out for the test runs. At 40 mph in 2nd gear (4 speed automatic) he nailed the throttle and the rear tires spun which put the car a little sideways and it SHOT ahead to about 110 mph when he let off. Next, from 10 mph in first gear he nailed it, the tires hooked up since they were hotter and it took off like a rocket! We started this project a year ago and finally got to see the end result. I did not run the car as the driver yet but will this weekend.
My Mercedes below has 540 HP and 590 lb. Ft of torque and it absolutely plants you in the seat at full throttle. The 66 I would say does not have as much torque but it did feel like it acclerated faster than the Benz. The 66 should be putting 580-620 hp out at the motor.
can't wait till the weekend to blast around some.
