Add into the mix that results from different dynos can vary quite a bit........ casting a wide net over the variables....... I’d say somewhere between 550-600hp.
One big variable for use here is whether or not the engine will reach its natural power peak based on the basic combo........ and not having the peak occur early because of the lifters having issues........ which seems to be what we’ve been seeing here lately.
I would happy with that. It should be torgue monster. I have a good choice of intakes TM7, Torker II or a Victor 4500. I might try solid lifters ,since I have them if I don't like it then change to hydraulic. By the way, Fast you did my heads, just the basics and I'm still beating my old 446.
