20% loss......600 hp at the crank?
20% is probably on par for a C6, converter and 9". Maybe a touch more. Mind you, also, on this pull it burned up 6 pushrods if I remember.

I think once he worked all the bugs lout of it it was close. Like I said, then he broke the crank.

Brent what about the passages from the cam bearings to the main oil gallery. Should the ones on 2,3 and 4 be opened up to 5/16?

No, you don't have to open any of that up.
