If this fellow is so naïve he believes a tuned and very mildly modded SS Commodore is producing 325rwkw then he's not into cars and there is next to no chance he’s ever or will ever frequent a drag strip.

Car guys know the truth about their cars and its competitors and that even includes the one eyed fan boys even if they won’t admit it.

If he was into cars he would have made up an inflated figure that was more believable.

Makes me wonder why someone who’s not a car person has had his car tuned unless it’s second hand and he bought it that way.

Which makes me wonder where he got the 325 figure from.

Which makes me wonder about the whole story.

What a Barry Crocker of a story, it makes me wonder.
He said 325kw at wheels.. I thought he may have meant horsepower but then it would be on the low side

He bought the car new and paid for the mods himself. I've used the shop he claimed did the work and they have a conservative dyno.

I made 282rwkw years ago with a cammed 5.7 ls1 so his power claims seem ambitious even if it is a 6.0L with those basic mods.

Whatever the claims, a 6.0L will need 350-400rwkw to keep near my xr6t with 331rwkw. Whatever his claims I will still get away after 100km/h
