The race track is the true test of man and machine. It’s where dyno sheets and fancy specification lists full of expensive, exotic parts become irrelevant and the supreme ultimately reign by crossing the finish line first. The track is why we live for drag racing – it’s why we build our cars. But there is something uniquely awe-inspiring about an insanely high horsepower vehicle being strapped down to a chassis dyno and all hell being unleashed in a static position. Almost like a snapshot of that pass down the track. In a sense, it’s like a caged monster prying the steel bars apart to get out.

So, what do you get when you cross a pair of Prochargers with a big block on methanol and strap it down to a dyno and let it eat? You guessed it…a caged monster.

This wicked 1967 Camaro is the product of Mark Werdehausen and his TYDO Race Cars shop based in Seymour, MO.  It eatures the surprisingly unique combination of a set of F2 Prochargers pouring into a methanol-burning big block. On the Superflow Autodyne dyno, it produced nearly 1,600 rear wheel horsepower and more than 1,000 ft. lbs. of torque through an automatic transmission at what is described as half of the available boost. The dyno day was cut short by an intake gasket problem, but this thing ought to fly once they take the straps loose.
