858 horse power from a junk yard motor?

another calculator at http://robrobinette.com/et.htm shows it takes 875 horsepower to go 8.93.

a junk yard motor?

Go to LS1 tech and see. Many people have run 9's on junkyard motors with a basic nitrous kit or FI. Last a long time? no , but runs fast.

These LS motors can kick a$$.
