This time of the year, we all know how it feels to lust for opening that oven a little early to get a taste of the goodies inside. But what if we were to translate this into the engine customization world? Well, we've brought along the footage below to serve as an answer to that question.
What we have here is a 1964 Chevelle SS that's capable of delivering north of 2,000 hp. Nevertheless, instead of showing you the completed car demolishing other highly customized rides, we're bringing you what can be called a dyno shakedown.
The dyno room episode in the clip shows the car on the day the build was completed, with the crew working on fine tweaking the engine.
The Chevy V8 under the hood was gifted with a pair of 88-mm turbochargers, with the team now steadily increasing the boost level as they work on the tune.
Delivering a mere 9 psi of boost, this thing allows the driver to play with around 900 hp at the rear wheels, but as we said, this is just the beginning.
The owner of the car aims to raise the boost to 24 psi, estimating this will bring the motivation level above 2,000 ponies. The power is currently being delivered via 390-section rear tires.
Interestingly enough, this Chevelle doesn't sound like it's turbocharged, at least not until the boost pressure starts reaching serious levels. Being able to keep the muscle soundtrack is quite a feat.
The owner seems to be overly sincere, telling us how the vehicle was built to beat anything on the street. Oh well, at least he seems to have a solid cage in there.
So if you happen to run into this Chevy while waiting at the traffic light, you should trust the massive hood bulge and mind your own business.
