Compression ,intake manifold ,78 mm throttle body
Those heads a fast manifold and 90 mm throttle body
11 to 1 compression and you should be close to 500-500

that's a small cam also.
cam, compression, intake, manifold and throttle body is something that will make a big impact on hp number.

Well one thing at a time lol. The cam is just a starting point got to see what i like for the street. Which this is a daily driver I was told with the 72cc chamber and -4cc pistons and all the final CR would be just over 11 to 1, which after assembly I turned it over without the plugs to check all my valve clearances and it was nice a tight and pumped air very nicely, then installed the plugs and the thing had major tightness nice compression build up haha. I reused the afrs from my last build which was FI but figured theyd work good.

I do not plan on staying with the intake and TB combo for long I have a harrop on order just have a while to wait till it gets here. Well that is if there was enough on my credit card, ill know tomarrow haha. If not I will install a ported fast 90/90.

I am interested in all the 427ci results posted - they seem to be as varied across the board as all the various possible combos out there.

I would have hoped a 427ci LS7, LS7 heads, nasty cam combo would be closer to 600rwhp than 500.
