It's like the old joke

- what dose a 300hp supra and a 700hp supra have in common?

- they both run the same time.

That dyno was done with NO wastegate, there is no way that car would make it thru 1st gear with out a big BOOM. 50+ lbs of boost and a 175 shot is crazy enough. The motor was pulled from the supra the same night of the dyno to take it apart.

Full interior, full weight, AC, stereo.....nothing that came with the car from the factory was taken off to save weight
1000hp cars run 8s. I read 1500whp and 8.40s. Missed the bit about gaining ~350whp without a second run. It's still a lot of money to go 8s, but with that much additional hp, he might be closer to 7s, assuming he can get the car out of the hole. Sound like there was some ginormous lag going on there...and that motor might be no more.

I'd still take the NA big block car I have in mind over the Supra any day and buy a nice, daily driver with the extra cashola I'd save.

Absolutely, it's a big number for sure. But horsepower numbers do not necessarily tell the whole story.
