Do it. I have to say that because I made 530whp on a stock bottom end 355 with a little juice. I could have made more but I had to up my fuel system. Thats over 600 at the flywheel. I'm pretty sure I was pushing the limits of my motor.... but....... it held up for a long time and when tore down, no signs of wear on the engine or rings or the main caps. I say you'll never know until you try, how much money do you have to spend in case it breaks, are you ready for it to break just in case it does, because from what i hear from everyone including my machinest....... That was probably the limit for my motor. But it is a LT1 and they write a new story every week. And they are almost always good.

i have mine with 76k miles and i have the le2 cam with heads pkg, and i just sprayed 150 shot, i have'nt got any good times in it , but its held up so far. the converter went out on the first passes. btw i bought a wet system from some1 here in this forum, i got the fuel pressure safety switch, timing retard, and uped the fuel pump, so i'm thinking i'm going the safe way on it .

I'm running a cam only motor and have hit it with a 200+ shot. I'm at 500rwhp(with a A4) but with your head work I would say you will be there with a 150 shot. It will last for a while. After I get my 10.8 pass I'm going back to one stage. So with any luck it will make it to the end of the season. The rearend died last time out.
In the process of installing a 9" with 35 spline axles and a spool.

What does the rest of your valvetrain consist of? What RPM are you shifting at? What RPM does that convertor foot brake to?

I have the comp 986 double springs, with stock rockers. On the dyno it pulled without dropping off to 6500(then hit the rev limiter). I try to shift at 6500. Footbraking the stall only goes to about 2400 on the street. I hold it at 1500 and flash it to about 4200 on the nitrous.
