After burning 1 quart of oil every 500 miles, loose guides, piston to wall clearance being all over the place, turning #3 cam bearing, intermittent ticking noise, dropped valve seats and stripping a spark plug hole in my brand new FHO Stage V heads (all this over a span of 3 seasons), its finally running again (no piece of wood is safe from my knocking).
looks like a went a little too crazy for a street engine. 527HP at 5000 rpm-658HP at 6500 rpm (It'll never see it. It was still pulling. We got scared), 524lb.ft at 3200 rpm, in the fives all the way to 6500, peak was 578 at 5400. Small roller cam and 10.0:1 compression.
A bit more than I need. Im just happy it's still in one piece!

Thanks everyone. This was a journey I hope I never have to take again.
Greg, the gasket worked awesome. Got the end play exactly where I wanted it. Did you do any Hemi intake gaskets yet?
