"The Brawler" 585 HP
(Stage 3)
The biggest and baddest Big Block in our lineup. “The Brawler” is a 496 Stroker that packs some serious punch. 585HP and over 600ft/lbs of torque, all while still being pump gas friendly, and using a hydraulic roller camshaft!
What does this mean for you? It means that you have neck snapping power across the entire rev range, without compromising driveability and reliability.
And if that somehow isn’t enough, you can add our “Hot Cam” package for over 600HP and 620 ft/lbs of torque!
**Looking for a little more power or a bit more chop? Our "Hot Cam" upgrade will add another 30hp and 15ft/lbs of torque for an additional $495. Ask us about it**
