Never ran this motor at the track, but it had good power. I would estimate 425 to 450 hp. Behind a 4 speed and 3:90 gears, I could pull away from a stop in 4th gear without any bucking or shaking. When this motor was in the car I also had an offy 2x4 intake on it with 2 edelbrock 600 carbs which dumped at the same time. Had no problem taking the fuel. It was wild.
I was down the track once with an original 389 with tripower behind a 2speed auto and went 14.6. This motor felt like mid to high 12's per the seat of the pants feel. If you build your motor very similar to this motor, you will have fun with it.
