582CI Big Block Chevy Engine Build - 1,164 HP Without A Power-Adder - Engine Buildup

NHRA Pro Stock racing is the end-all, be-all class for flexing the might of a big-block race engine. With no power-adders allowed, this is the class in which a huge budget, massive engineering efforts, and ingenuity rule the roost and the guy with the most power has a very real advantage over the competition.NHRA Pro Stock racing is the end-all, be-all class for flexing the might of a big-block race engine. With no power-adders allowed, this is the class in which a huge budget, massive engineering efforts, and ingenuity rule the roost and the guy with the most power has a very real advantage over the competition. That competition has led to significant advances in induction technology and power production from 500ci engines over the years. Our best guess puts the horsepower output of the top engines in the class near the 1,450hp mark at 10,600 rpm, and some of the cylinder head chamber and port design information that makes it possible has been trickling down to sportsman racers in the last few years.
