Didn't Eddie Tassone from Active Automotive in Perth pull in the vacinity of 1200 - 1400 rwhp at the Summernats about 4 or 5 years ago using unleaded with his iron block 383 with twin turbs in his Commodore. I remember there was some fanfare about being a world record at the time on unleaded.

Ye and if it was the thing im thinking... it was a bung reading as a dyno sensor was 'broken'.

Although 800rwhp if your going to pick something like Sunoco, i reckon there would be something higher somewhere

An excerpt I found relating to the 16th Summernats:

All day Saturday and Sunday engines roared in the Horsepower Heroes Dyno Cell. On this Summernats stage, street-legal cars running pump gas are strapped into a caged dyno cell. With spectators stacked in the stands above, owners compete to find out who really has the most powerful machine.

Last year everyone was shocked when a Holden ute pushed the dials well beyond the 1,000hp mark and a rotary Mazda made 500 plus ponies in the new Sport Compact class. This year, three competitors in twin turbocharged V-8 GM Commodores came into Sunday morning's final with 1,100-plus horsepower. Eddie Tassone's gold 383-ci small-block powered Commodore eventually took the trophy with1,376 horsepower.

nah, it made 1700rwhp with a bung air temp sensor on dyno defaulting to 240deg c

actually makes a little over 1000rwhp on what i believe is pump fuel
