Is 500whp possible on pump gas?

I would also like to add that I am nearly positive that the 500hp mark is an attainable goal on this setup with pump gas.

I am talking about 93 octane, but yes "pump" gas could be 111.

Wow, tore me up. Let me rephrase.

i should've been more specific. "Streetable" drag cars (not the top classed tube frame cars) are making that much power but to do so reliably they are running built blocks.

I haven't seen 500hp stock block Hondas. I'll have to take your word on that.

Sorry, I'm bad at math.

Very attainable. My buddy mike has an eg in Cali that makes 465whp on 93 or 91 I forget

I'm shooting for 450whp on pump next year. That will be plenty on a daily basis

So I wonder if power to weight ratio means anything to him....
