I love your motto by the way "HotRod" and I would offer to you that I am ignorant moreso than stupid

Please educate me to all this. I have always liked old classics and muscle cars and thought that it would be nice to take the truck to points its never seen in its life. I guess I am more familiar with mynew model charger which is not uncommon for someone to put close to put 450 RWHP easy. Please educate me is this something to do with the car being old, is it uncommon to have 450 to ground and if so what is a reasonable rwhp on these vehiclesand how do i get there
