When Andrew McRae upgraded his two door 57 Chevrolet Belair with a procharged big block V8 engine recently, he knew it would produce huge horsepower.
But the Mackay resident didn’t imagine it would trip the dyno at Rare Spares Rockynats by producing massive amounts of torque.
“There was too much torque on it at the back wheels,” he said.
“They were saying it’s only rated at 1700 newton metres and my car was up at 1860.
“He thinks that’s why it was shutting off and only reading about 620 horsepower.” Andrew and Wendy McCrae s 57 Chevrolet Belair two door on the Insane Performance chassis dyno at Rockynats. Picture: Rodney Stevens
