Ira,s car makes a lot more than that(aprox 250HP at crank) and should weigh min of 2255 for the setup he has. Sam has put a lot of real tricks into that motor (EP allows anything in the block and lots of port work)Sam was still tweaking the IT motors(intakes exhaust configures) dont be suprised if he dose not get 200+ out of them one of these days. Like you said it aint cheap but you get what you pay for and Sam is one of the best.
