We just finished Tuning Tim the toolman Taylors 490 inch Hemi Portflow brought us this engine to handle the injection and ignition.We made it individual coil per cyl and were able to really bring around this beast it started off making 410 hp by the time we were done it made 675 ft lbs and 662 hp with 600 lbs at 3000rpm.And did it with 8 2.5 inch butterflys talk about a crap vacumn signal.We had to redesign to kpa table to get it to run but it all worked out.Hats off to Portflow because we beat this sucker for 3 days on the dyno and everything held up good.attached are some shots on the dyno.

Is this the same Silver Truck he bought at Barret Jackson? It used to have a Blown/Injected Hemi in it. It was radical - not really able to drive it much on the street w/out issues, but none the less a killer truck and well built. Nice to see a streetable motor being put in it. It was built locally here in Sacramento area. Cool ass truck!!

I think that truck was on an episode of rides. Set car alarms off for blocks :lol: .

Looks like the same long block.

It was covered in a behind the scenes Rides show with Steve Moal. It was not drivable with a blown nitro injected hemi - but it was bad ass for sure and the craftsmanship on the build was awesome. Tim jumped in (and once they got it started) did a few passes up and down the street - set off every car and building alarm on the block - wicked machine.
