IMHO it depends on who built the engine. If the General built the engine, the answer would be "No".

In factory-delivered "stock" trim, no.

Built to NHRA "stock eliminator" specs, those #'s are attainable.

DITTO what Eric said! Ask Jerry MacNeish, he may tell you his dyno numbers! I know he has em.

TRACO blueprinted a 302 engine, added an off road cam and an X-Ram to get that kind of flywheel horsepower.

I bet Jerry will not reveal his dyno numbers, but his times are in the very low 10.70s, which would take every bit of 453hp at the wheels.

Is your uncle Jerry McNeish?

Jerrys new 67 Z28 went at 475 HP according to his web site on the new car.

no my uncle isnt jerry. he has a 68 z28 4spd with 4.56gears. i believe his car has dealer ordered headers and intake manifold and i want to say a cam also. im not possitive. he had kept it hidden for a long time until last spring. he finally got it out and started messing with it and said he had it dyno'd and that 453 was what the dyno read
