You are going to get screwed again if you don't play the whole game and add an RPM to that guess :)


I'll even add another incentive:  if anyone guesses the exact horsepower and the exact peak horsepower rpm, they will receive a free set of my new non-adjustable roller tip rocker arms. 


That only applies to the free rocker arms. I won't even venture the odds of hitting the EXACT horsepower AND RPM.



That's why I went in first, figured I'd double bulb ya.

I'll be waiting with my finger on the keyboard to change my guess at a moments notice before the event ;)

I'll take a swing at it.

I was trying "not to" because the combination is so unusual that I am almost guaranteed to be wrong.

Torque peak of 485 at 5000 RPM, power at 581@ 6500 RPM

Nice project!

The C8OE heads will hold it back some obviously, but i think it will be interesting.  Ill say 560-575 hp. If the heads are really good, 625 hp.
