Here's the guy's web site - http://www.hot.ee/allhell/

Per the site he gets 999 hp @ 8500 rpm out of his 477cid big block.

To me the car is not good at anything. It will not pull wheelies like that for long and survive and as for straight line 1/4 miles it is useless.
I was not impressed. It is just a car that needs help.

I sure wouldn't slam his car! How do you know it wasn't his first time out with his new setup? Maybe he added wheelie bars after that. For a guy who gets so twisted up over any criticism (mostly unjustified), you shouldn't be so quick to pass judgement.
That's a way old video by the way...

I know, I've seen tons of that car running off the road and almost slamming the guardrail. I was just making a jab at all the over rated HP out there....

I am guessing that you don' have a 383???? Because there is no way a 383ci motor could make 500+hp right????

No 383 on this end. 346. I think it can be done, but no one has proved it on a chassi dyno yet.
