I don't doubt that Parker can get 1000 HP from a 410 sprint engine. The cylinder heads for sprints and late models to make that number have been available for quite a few years now. With dirt stuff being more focused on drivability over peak power, 900+ is a common number. 1000 HP is probably a Knoxville or Eldora motor.
