Wel Tom they told me so on there website!!. chek out the video chapter and then select the engine and specs .. they detuned there engine to make it last and to be able to reatch that speed(200 miles per hour).there engine builder in that same video says that they could go 20 ore 30 miles faster if they used the engine in a newer camaro ore firebird!(thats the 230 miles you refearing to). because big red pushes a lot of air... im not into drag raceing myself but in vintage transam raceing and the pro-touring g-mashine seen. my frinds 70 formula with only 500 hp and 570 lbs feet of torque with a tr2004r trans is doing a 150 miles a hour and this is a bone stok car with minor suspention upgrades. my own car (68 bird) is build on a mutch better platform lighter no ecspends spared (same transmission) and for a first atempt not to bad for a girls car.it should do 162.5 miles when finished with a 550 hp engine. so a ecstra 300/350 hp should bring 37.5 miles exstra upto 200 miles a hour in a better airodynamic car like the 69 gto dont you think ...ps you ment oilcoolers and radiators and brakes like this........
