Yes, 675 seems like a lot. Years ago I had a '70 Chevelle race car that made close to 600 HP at 8000 RPM with a pretty radical 355 inch small block. No nitrous but heavily modified old school GM heads, tunnel ram, dual 750 cfm 4150's, roller, 14 to 1 compression. Not much power below 6500 rpm! Ran an 8800 rev limiter chip.
Doug Nash 4speed, 5.38 gears. No electronics at all, other than a MSD with a rev limiter. Not very consistent (with me in the seat) but quite a ride-broke stuff constantly (mostly tranny and clutch) but lots of fun!
The previous owner drove better than I and ran real low 10's in the 1/4 or 6.50 in the 8th.
Best run I ever made was a 6.70 in Minot ND.
Sorry if I derailed this thread a bit but I thought a few folks might enjoy the story and pics.
