im keen as to see what numbers it does....the goal is 400rwhp+....if it dosent get that ill put a few k's on it and then go a solid roller cam and tp single plane ,the tuner told me 400-450hp is achievable out of this combo but we might max out the 36lbs injectors trying to get there...so thats my plan and the goals,and if it doesn't make the power I want it will eventaully crack the 400rwhp one way or another lol

Hey stu, I don't want to be a downer, but I think your builder would have meant 400-450hp at the engine.
I'll be stoked to see 350rwhp out of your combo, and I reckon you can do it. I hope for your sake that you hit 400rwhp, but conservatively do not think it will.

Good Luck, and prove me wrong :beer chug:

i don't know if it will hit 400@tyres either deuce but the tuner knows all the specs and he rekons its achievable but ill wait and see.....i had some long talks with the engine builder before we started and we were both clear that we were talking hp@ the wheels...if it doesn't make the power keep an eye on this thread cause there will be some changes...ive also got another build im starting now and theres gunna be no expense spared on this one.
