Bet I could have some fun in that thing....until it breaks.
Screw the Pro-Charger, - it's the engine that's built right. Sounds really good! Healthy w/BIG Cams.. -Fords sound better when built up well, with that kind of power.....Block, HEADS, then roots owned (safe)..
Fun stuff, specially those Hill climbs and Dune rides
BTW- Did you notice how quick that truck was even with the tires spinning ? Mann, - that's like perfect power down low. Guy did a great job from what I saw, wonder what his numbers are?

A good example, - a lot of Dragsters used Pro-Chargers..- probably still do.
So I'm thinking that engine was probably pro built and/or built with a Pro-Charger in mind.
If I had to guess, he's getting more than 500 hp once that Pro charger comes alive... and it comes alive VERY quickly with that type of configuration.
Yea, that's a ton of rubber to spin, let alone take off like a rocket lol.

Guess I should say. Pro-Chargers can really suck on the low side, with a stock or mild build as far as "usable hp" - BUT with a build like that (around 500 hp), that Pro Charger wakes right up from the light. That's a benefit that type of charger needs. When it's there, you have some crazy horse power lol. A good example, - a lot of Dragsters used Pro-Chargers..- probably still do.
