To be able to compete with special but lighter vehicles, this Chevy Pickup uses a 383 engine prepared by Edelbrock with supercharger that allows you to develop more than 600 horsepower. The supercharged 6.300 cm3 V8 has 2 valves per cylinder and transmits its power through a sequential 5-speed manual gearbox. All this allows him to travel the quarter mile in 12.4 seconds (his current record).
As far as the chassis is concerned, in order to be able to tolerate the enormous torque demands that the V8 generates, a new tubular structure made of specially reinforced steel has been designed. It has independent suspensions and excellent performance. It has ventilated discs perforated on all four wheels and special and approved Goodyear tires.
