Default stock bottom end 5.7 ls6 - 500whp+

I just wanted to share the results of my build. We hit 500+ on a stock bottom end with all boltons on stock ported 243 heads.

Are they saying that 11.2@119 on a their mustang dyno was about right? I would say 480rw on a MD is over 500rw on a DJ. I just know that I ran 11.2@123 with 405rw on a DJ. What size cam is in there?

On that run it should have been around 10.6 but the clutch was starting to act up I need a new clutch after looking at the log file we could see that it took 1.1 sec to enter 4th gear from 3 to 4. the custom grind cam is a 229/233

Seems a little optimistic but not saying it's impossible. I would throw the fake 1/4 time in the trash and get to a real track to see what it'll do. This would help validate the dyno's claimed power level too.

500 rwhp out of a 347ci,..it's a big cam.

I made 450rwhp years ago with AFR's and 233/237 648..598..112 on a superflow dyno(similar to MD)

I have seen 490rwhp out of the same setup and a few more cubes(364ci)
