that car has somewhere in the 1300 horsepower range if those speaking of it are correct, which I wouldn't doubt

i would love to see a CA do that, but it's not fathomable. the extra .7 or .8 litre's from an rb would help exponentially as power increased.

for EXAMPLE say

CA starts at 200hpRB at 250 hp

X dollars in mods to each engine (maybe a little more for rb cause of size an number of cylinders)

CA may get 250RB 350

all this because of size, and the gap gets larger as power gets higher. This is why you see 1000hp RB's but 500 on a CA is a tough hitch. If you are serious about trying to even come close to the power that car has, I would say that between the two engines, CA and RB, the money you spend initially on the engine (RB) will save you THOUSANDS (many) down the road.
