Thanks @WoodiE ! I was shocked to see the torque gains considering factory spec is 385hp@5,750rpm and 387tq @ 3,850rpm.
I thought their HP number was a bit padded, as mine ran out of breath at about 5k rpm with a JLT intake and tune. Many others see 370-380hp with similar setup - but I do know this is a conservative/accurate dyno. Butt dyno does feel a bit stronger than what it put down. I'm on a flex tune, a dedicated E85 tune would likely put it closer to the 400 mark, but I'm not really too concerned as I catch people sleeping a lot as it is, not many expect a super crew to move that fast.

My friends didn't have an engine like that ,I think his had a 351 c1 or a 390 ,but did have the
bucket seats 4 spd manual an the posi-trac rear end ,it was the same color ,but his had the black
side stripe an black interior!
Oh God .......LOL....I remember one time ,me my cousin riding around in his 65 Chevy Biscayne looking for
Mark ,the one with the Torino ,I told my cousin ,lets go check out at the orange groves to see if he is out
getting gas ,well we drove around an spotted stealing gas from the wind machines ,so we was coming up on him ,
an sure enough ,another was helping him putting the gas in his car ,......LOL...they seen are car lights ,an got in the
car real quick like a bad outta hell ,we couldn't catch them to let them know that it was us!.......LOL
The next time that I saw Mark ,I told him that it was me an Joe my cousin that pulled up on him that
night ,oh man he wanted to sock me up ,but I was laughing so hard ,I don't think that I would have felt it!
Had a lot of good times back in the early 80's!...

This is what my cousin had ,it wasn't fast ,it only had an in line 6 ,but it did look good an fast!
He had the air shocks ,U.S mag wheels with the size G 60 tires on the rear.
His brother owned a 64 GTO Pontiac ,in which he still owns today ,it is his baby!
He has the original 389 ,but runs the 400 in it with 4spd an Holley double pump carb.
It looks like this ,but my cousins was brown!

Wife and I enjoy monster truck shows. Got to see Max-D and Digger up close last year in Cincinnati. Can’t wait to see the shows in Florida.

Yews, i know this is a really old thread, and i also know this may have been already answered (i didnt look through all 65 pages yet), but, it is a 1970 Buick GSX in saturn yellow with gloss black racing stripes. I had two of these, one in saturn yellow and one in apollo white (the only two colors they were available in). They were actually a Buick Skylark with a few added speed parts, and stuffed with a 455 CI V-8. To make the GSX, they took a Buick Skylark GS 455 and added the stage 1 package, that added a hood mounted tach, bigger cam, larger valves, stronger valve springs, ported heads, bigger carb jets and a 4-speed Muncie with Hurst shifter, front disks and HD suspension. This has always been, and always will be my favorite car, of any type.
'67 427ci drop top Vette
'70 Buick GSX 455 Stage 2
'69 Dodge Charger Daytona or '70 Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird
I can't tell if they're both the same, one of each or which one they are on the pair.

Those are both '69 Charger Daytonas. Not long after he posted the pics of them, someone id'd them, but from what i could tell, noone bothered with the GSX.
