I’m thinking the TQ/HP numbers will end up pretty lopsided, towards the TQ end of things.

To throw some numbers out there(which will be a total “WAG”), 660-670ft/lb, 550-560hp.

In order to know how the basic long block combo compares to “the rest of the world”, it would need to be tested with a “known quantity” induction on it.


The intent of the build was to make silly amounts of torque over a usable range. HP was never a concern. It was going to fall into the Rolls Royce range of "sufficient".

This thing needs to pull down the highway at 1700 rpm and still have a full normal rpm range.

It's an unusual build for sure.


We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.
