Does anyone know for a fact what the 426 Hemi Nascar engine made in 69 According to Tim Wellborn, the car now has a 528 crate engine , and is said it now has more HP than when Bobby drove it. I doubt it , the crate engine is very low comp carpared to even modern day race car , and they are 12-1 . What do you guy's think The reason I ask is , I'm going to build a 572 , 11-1 Hemi with alum heads and should be 800 hp .

NASCAR Hemis should be "about" 600 HP.

So my car should do 200 mph with 354 gear and Tremic 5 speed with 800 hp ??

Yeah, right up until the fiberglass nose delaminates and turns into a parachute...

gear+tire diameter+max rpm dictates final speed.  800HP is way more than enough for 200mph.
