This was all done on break in oil,no synthetic oil wihcih is good for 15-20 HP and Meaux's dyno is a conservative dyno.

Wrong.

I've seen plenty of stroker motor cars that only put down 450 rwhp with premium parts put in it and I've seen plenty of low-dollar setups like AIs setup that put down 500+ rwhp through a 383 LT1.

I think I'm ganna need a new SET of underwear...

I'm curious... 800 HP @ 8K Rpms yet the tourque curve looks relatively flat... I know this is because HP increases as RPMS increase even if tourque slightly decreases... My question is between 6,300 RPMS and 8,600 RPMS ...Would the car continue to pull and if so, would there be any advantage of having 500 Lbs TQ at 8,600 RPMS as opposed to 6,300 RPMS??
I'll clarify alittle better, The tourque remains at around 500 lbs between 6.300 and 8.600 RPMS... What I'm asking is would there by any signifficant advantage of shifting this particular engine at 8,600 RPMS (Higher RPMS) as opposed to 6,300 RPMS (Lower RPMS) when you've reached your peak tourque?...

Yeah, because you shift right after peak horsepower, not peak torque. If that was the case, you'd shift a stock LS1 at 4200 rpm.

Go back and look at the parts list that you posted. That's no budget build, way over anything I coud come up with without a second mortgage.
And I never said that people don't waste money on the wrong parts.

So defensive

Who said it was a budget build? That's a $25-30k motor

My XTerra. It needed some more power. Hard to merge onto the expressway was driving me nuts.
