The hemi had allot more then 425HP in those things right off the show room, and you could get maybe 550-575HP out of them with proper tweeking, and a bit more with some special direct-connection parts.

I'd say the hemi was a ringer! Since it is a 1966 motor, at 820HP I'd bet that is a hemi from a SS/A car that's been fully massaged and still called stock.

THAN YOU WOULD KNOW GUYS LIKE JERRY STINE RACING WEDGE CARS -- AND THE CLASS I THOUGHT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT WAS -SS/A THE FACTORY ONLY RAN THAT WITH THE HEMIS EVEN TODAY BARTONS MOTORS MAKE A LITTLE OVER THE ORIGINAL # S -- WEDGE MOTORS NEVER RAN THE ALL OUT HEMIS THAT I CAN REMEMBER IN MATCH RACING - BUT MAYBE THEY DID -- JZ
