Not sure. Never checked it. I'll get back to you on that. The cam is a 270ish@.050, 690ish lift on a 108ls. By no means a street friendly cam, but you guy's know that. Thing is I don't mind it.

 

Like I said before, you have one WICKED ride. Great work.

 

Thanks. 500 gets boring after awhile. As Always I want more power, and a new project is in the works. My pocket book is just not deep enough to suport two car's but that's what I'm doing. Bought a 86 t-top mustang. Car is gutted. Motor and trans are about to go in. Turbo is a 76mm. I've got everything, just need to make adjustments on the turbo system(one that I built and still fabbing up the piping). Hope to have it running a month from now. Goals for this car??? I don't know. Something that runs bottom tens here or better. Wont see a whole lot of track time though. Want to drive this one around and have fun. Only mustang I've owned so a turbo project sounded good. Hell, depending on how it runs I just may turbo the TA.

I don't suggest the stock block!

 

Mod make this a sticky please!

 

I just wanted to update my "500 rwhp" combo...first trip to the dyno made 433.4/464.5 STD @ the wheels.

That is with a TH-400, non-locking nitrous converter, Moser 12 bolt, Denny's nitrous ready driveshaft and MT ET Streets.

I never thought my drivetrain would be so power robbing...I am sure the car will run very well, but dyno number wise it was killed. Figure in a 28% drivetrain loss.

Now I can get another 20-30 rwhp out of the combo by fixing some bugs, but 500 rwhp with my drivetrain with my motor is not going to happen (and I have a stout setup).

How easy it is to say I have 500 rwhp....

 

im happy with my 300 or so rwhp car then add a 300 shot

 

I agree 100% with that.

Almost 13 to 1 compression, TF heads that flow well over 300 cfm, a sheetmetal intake and busting my ***** for years working out the little stuff to get to 500 rwhp. According to everything on paper the car should easily exceed 500 rfwhp. So far it ain't happened.

The car is sitting in the garage right now being put back together after realigning the intake bolt openings, replacing a .015 head gasket, resealing the intake differently and relocating the 02 sensors in the headers.

Get the biggest kick out of people giving advice on how to get 500 rwhp from a streetable LTx motor who have never come close. Putting numbers and combo together on paper or using software is one thing, actually making it work is another.

If I knew how, I'd tell ya....... obviously I don't, but I'm working on it.

 

I have an update: After going through some bottom end bugs and changes we got it in the car and made some pulls. The new engine dyno numbers were 710 hp as we changed a few things to make it more nitrous friendly.

It made 589 rwhp and 505 rwtq. this is through a Gforce 6speed and a 12 bolt.

Idle was at 950, vac however was about 9".

 

Impressive as hell. Great job. God is not only in the details, but in the heads and pocketbook too

 

Why not, Rick Intrau made 1200 RWHP with the stock block....I think it will be ok for 500 rwhp.

I think he was refering to the mustang

 

Build a 396 with these heads. They used to make them for the LT1, under the Dominion brand name. You would need custom pistons, at a minimum. I sold my set to a guy, who's name I forgot, but he posted on this board with the name of "TheBigShow".
