I have always liked the Bill Mitchells 540ci and 572ci engines. 700+FT/LBS of TQ in a pump gas street engine has always appealed to me.

Had some pretty good ones, here is the KB alum 632 in the Beretta.

That was before the 2 stages of juice were added.
I would add a couple of Turbos to that motor and it would be even more uncontrolable.

I am no expert when it comes to computers but I will try to help.
You must put the picture on Photobucket, (photobucket.com), a free picture website.
When the picture is loaded onto the website, put your pointer over the picture and a drop down box appears. Highlight the bottom address that appears, (address starts with [IMG]), copy and paste that to your post and the pix should appear.
The 632 was a Kieth Black Chevy aluminum 6 bolt main 632. 4.6 bore 4.75 stroke, 15-1 compression, Big Chief heads with Titanium valves, Jesel rockers and a .800+ roller with 975 open pressure triple springs. The intake was a hogan with 2 1050 dominators on it.
Ignition was an MSD crank trigger, full JW Glide, PTC converter, 9" with 3.89 gears, 2200 lbs with me in it.
We later added 2 NOS stages, a fogger and 2 plates, but we could never get more than a 250 shot to the ground and even then I would have to let up at least once every pass to straighten it out. We were told by some informed folks that we needed a stronger rear end as this had a 9" with brace but even that tends to flex under extreme power and it causes the car not to track straight.
It ran a best of 4.76 @ 153 in the 1/8th with the 250 shot and that was letting off once to straighten it. On motor it ran like it was on rails, 5.07 @ 135.

My computer skills??? were learned by trial and error. I am sure you will figure it out.
Here is an action shot of the Beretta, and one with the front end on, it was a Don Ness chassis car.
