Here is what S&S says it makes (your results may vary....)



Still a very potent beast, with huge potential, should anyone want to push it even more-S&S sheets they post for their products can be repeated anywhere, anytime, no games or excuses, on most any dyno....delivering the promised power, and usually more in most every case.
On the flip side of "WOW!", this is the same amount of torque (with same cam and compression as this 143" beast) posted on another "forum" in their dyno section that a 117" made-absolutely incredible. Again, your results may vary...

Wondering if the D&D Mega-Cat(purpose designed/built for the T143" S&S engine) pipe was used?

I don't know what went on with the "other" site. BUT I am sure the arm chair experts straighten out who ever posted what.
