    I kick it off with what a 455 should sound like

    800 hp at 7000 rpm and 648 ft torque at 5400 rpm

    Video of the break in and one half pull and one full throttle pull.

    Me like very much for my daily driver
    It always scares me when an engine is revving that high asking myself when does it explode
    Fortunately it doesn't

    Erik I say the same thing every time I'm going down the track. LOL. Have to say Buick engines can run but they need plenty of band aids to strengthen up the block. As for street cruising brawlers you can't beat them, gobs of low end torque. Here is a nice shot of board member Nick Rabi
