Did a little looking around and it seems the NASCAR engines put out about 650 horses now. That's about the limit that the parts can stand. The 550 might have been for restrictor plate racing on the big tracks. Hard to believe they're not running fuel injection at this time.

The hp modern engines are putting out is unbelievable. Here are some 1970 specs.

The two standard engines for the Big Chevies are the 155-hp Turbo-thrift inline 250 cu. in. six and the 250 hp Turbo-Fire 350 V-8. Except that the six is not available on the Caprice models, the Impala Custom Coupe, Sport Sedan, or Convertible.
