Wow, when you said "mild" and then followed that up with 450HP, I realized I'm completely out of touch with the racing scene.

Isn't 450 the first stage of NOS?

Haha sorry guys I guess I've been in the mud scene to long. For the mud trucks we race 450 is mild. I guess for a luv it would be wild. And its all motor no power adders

I've got a mild 565ci (pump gas, hyd cam) that runs 10.0 - 9.9s. @ 131 mph. Same truck with a stock 454 ran 11.85s @ 112mph. Take advantage of the weight. Traction, gearing and leaving the line HARD is were a light vehicle can be surprisingly quick when out gunned in HP.
