More head? Why, cause your ports are bigger?  More cam? You have more exhaust duration and 1 degree more of intake duration. That cam with 1.7s specs out to .632 lift. They should have made more power but as you can see, they're hitting some valve control issues at 6200RPM. Had they solved the float they would have hit 575HP at 6500RPM.

Sorry if I missed it but who tuned the car? Is that the factory tune in it still? I'd give the guys at PCMFORLESS a call to get at least a "baseline" tune. Those guys really know their stuff.
Here's mine with the first chip they sent me. It drives great and the throttle response is just incredible...........really crisp.

True........ a stronger batwing and getting rid of the factory bushings will help resist that motion.

Breaking the nose of the case is actually quite common. The stronger batwing helps resist the twisting motion of hard launches better than the stock one does.
It's not cheap I know, but I highly recommend grabbing the batwing at least. Even punching it on a roll back when I was only making 312RWHP on the stock motor, you could feel the difference over how much more "snappy" the car felt.

It is, especially the batwing portion. The gladiator still uses a "used case" the last time I checked.
    They claim the walls are thicker and of course it's a brand new case, billet caps, ARP bolts....but the batwing is definatley not a clone of the OEM.

Exactly. You do know why he picked on you right? I'l give you a hint...it starts with A and ends with R. Honestly, if you pick on a guy and his cylinder head/parts choice who just made over 600HP on his LT1 with a streetable hydraulic cam, truly you have an agenda.

Hmm, a modified STREET car that doesn't use a lot of converter and gear? Who would have thought... That sounds a lot like ALL of the STREET cars I have ever been around Quote:
You do know a hardcore STREET set up will leave the line at nothing more than 4000RPM? That's why you don't let a guy who builds race cars modify your daily driver. You'll end up with a 6000RPM stall converter, 4.56 gears and a 106LSA....LOL. You'll need to go half throttle just to drive it out of your garage!!!

He had enough cylinder head to make 600HP, which was his goal so in fact you are wrong again, he DID have enough cylinder head. Those who have enough cylinder head to make 600HP, have it written on their dyno sheet, those who don;t have it written only in their sig  Quote:
Yeah going over 7000RPM is unheard of with the T&D rockers. Better phone up the guys using T&D in NASCAR and let them know that. Quote:
He's trying to push the limits of a hydraulic roller, did you not read that part? [/quote] Quote:
Neither did he, he was just updating us with whats going on. I suppose as a professional, you've seen it all and know it all? You can predict the outcome of any combo? Diagnoss any problem? Nothing has ever surprised you or not gone as planned on the first shot? That's nice you can build a combo that works over and over again but if everyone just did that we would all still be running carbs on the street. Will is trying to do something new, break new ground and that is rarly ever accomplished on the first try. He's experimenting, cut him some slack. If the guys at NASA can blow up a Space Shuttle, don't think you're perfect.
