Don't let the mags and factory hp ratings fool you, this is definitely a 290-300hp truck that can EASILLLYYYY be tuned to around 550hp, it can do 14.8-14.9s bone stock in the 1/4-mile, sometimes even 14.5s @ 97mph. This was an ULTRA-BADASS AND LIGHTWEIGHT (for its time) PICKUP TRUCK. Not to mention it's a 7.4 big block, not some p***y ass 5.7 small block.
IT REALLY FREAKING STOOD OUT from the Li'l Red Express, a 5.9L truck, and the first- and second-gen Lightnings, both in the 5.x range (5.8L and 5.4L supercharged, respectively). With a twin-supercharger or a twin-turbocharger kit on ALL FOUR of these super trucks, you can squeeze THE MOST POWER out of the d_mn Chevy!
Edit: NOT to mention, GM has a reputation of building the most simplistic and most easily-tunable V8 engines. A GM V8 of identical power to a Ford or MoPar "equivalent" is 1.5x-even 2.0x more powerful when fully modded thanks to essentially super-accessible parts from aftermarket and even OEM-approved shops!
@Toyota, Nissan, most European V8s and V10s: Don't even THINK ABOUT screwing (messing) with us...

@BR2+: Yes, Chevrolet continued putting their 7.4 liter V8 in pickup trucks and suvs until 1997. It was usually found in the C and K Series 2500 and 3500 pickups. But they offered a Silverado 1500 with the 454 as a performance package in the early 90s. This inspired Ford to make the F150 SVT Lightning.

@Shaggy
It's in the link. They tested it. Maybe the power is underrated by the manufacturer.

What's wrong with adding pick up trucks to this site? I hope they add more. But honestly, this truck couldn't finish the 1/4 mile in 15.8 seconds falling from 1/4 above the ground. It'd need a power to weight ratio of around 13 LBS per horsepower, The Silverado 454 SS has 17.4.
