wow to get a 1000 hp these days all I have to do is make a utube video and put "1000 hp" awesome!

141 mph in a 3600 lbs vehicle isn't even in the same universe as a 1000 hp.

750-800 it doesn't take much to trap 141 when you hook and go especially with the weight and 1000 hp would trap closer to 150 if not higher and be low 9's.. on his setup.

9's & 140+ is always impressive, but that only takes 750-800 in my opinion. I trap 150+ when I'm set at 1000whp, 4000lbs+

he hurt the the engine. the next few vids show what happened. he dropped a lifter, hurt the cam, ate some valve seals, and hurt the bearings/crank.

so yeah, it wasnt making 900whp during those passes.

props to this guy though, he tore down the engine on his own. hes not a pay to win kinda guy at least.

Still a misleading title if it wasn't putting down 1000 hp or was damaged at the time don't call it a 1000 hp car. Hell don't even put HP in the title that's what people looking for clicks do.
