454CI Big-Block Chevy - 'Horsepower!

Anton Lanesky, Macedonia, OH

Anton works for Michael's Racing Engines in Macedonia, Ohio, and once in a while, he gets to install a centrifugal supercharger for customers. "I was driving those customer cars all the time," Anton said. "Eventually I started to like them." After he had a racing "incident" with his 8-71 Roots-blown big-block, the opportunity was there to step up to the ProCharger F2. With a simple combination of boost and fuel management, the 454 big-block Chevy managed to make 604.3 hp and 795 lb-ft of torque at the wheels of his '81 Camaro. That's using 110 race gas and 27 pounds of boost, of course.
