Note the heads and intake. I am using much bigger heads and the Mini Ram. Combine that with a good tune, I should do about 550 or better CHP.

Comments?

Looking for 450 WHP possible?

I would guess that 450 rwhp is very possible. There are 383's out there that put out just about that number at the rear wheels, so with the monster you are building, I don't see this being a problem.

There is a definite bubble in the torque curve in that article. If the torque band could be flattened out a bit, that would be one fantastic motor!

How much bigger are your heads and intake ports? Also, how much duration and lift will the cam have? You could easily build your motor with more power with those cubes, but are you looking for something streetable or something that you can drive on the street without issues?

Wow, those are some impressive numbers, given the size of the heads; w/ your Dart 210's and a mini ram, your engine should make 550 hp no problem.

Can't wait to see the pic's.

Those are the current heads I have now. Those heads are 180CC Brodix RRs, making 515HP and 572TQ on a 427.

That's pretty impressive if you ask me.
