I know that everything that dude owned was yellow. And my estimation is that it will run 112 MPH with that hp.

Nascar engines are my favorite
The only problem is that there are SOOOOO many Nascar engine builders out there. I talked to 3 or 4 of them or their buddies every day. I had no idea that there were 17,000 Nascar engine builders out there.

For anyone that doesn't know, the whole Nascar engine thing is an inside joke. The engine that was in the boat when we started was built by a "Nascar engine builder". It was more like Asscar.

The 588 Donovan in the Talon makes 750 hp.

yeah nascar guys build tons of 588 cubic inch big blocks! wtf dude you cant be that clueless... you're kidding right or did you wake up wearing your clown shoes today...

there is not a single part of your 588 ci engine that ever came out of or went into a nascar engine...

there is a guy on lateral g site building an nascar engine using all second hand parts from nascar teams, it is a small block chevy sb2 engine.. under 400ci making 780hp... now tell me again that your 588 ci engine is a nascar engine. roflmfao

the heads, cam, intakes, and thousands of hours of dyno time and porting is where all that hp comes from... just cuz some guy built some nascar engines, does mean any of that ridiculously expensive r&d time went into your 588ci bbc combo so stop kidding yourself
