any mods to the motor or just stock?

oh btw i was reading an article on the net and one of the gmhiperformance mags did a engine dyno run on the race verison and it put out about 760 or so hp at the flywheel

EDIT: my bad it was a 620hp street verison and it actually dyno'd 711hp/701tq

The motor in the picture is the 720hp version. You can tell by the Dominator. The 620hp version has a 4150series Holley on it. I'm not sure if that is just a "file photo" or what, Brian will have to elaborate on which motor they are running.

BTW, sweet looking project! Who's is it?

I read an article in HRM where they took the high CR 720hp version, ran it on pump gas @34degrees of timing and STILL made like 720hp. The 572 motors are a bit underated at 620/720 hp...both of them.
