Default My new LS6 427 solid roller is done

Just came off the Superflow 901 at More Performance. Mike emailed me with the results.
725HP@7500rpm
570ftlbs@5700rpm
The block is C5R, the heads are Stage4 LS6 by More Performance, custom sheetmetal intake, and solid roller camshaft. Oh, and naturally aspirated.

Mickey

725HP NA LS6 427....new motor ....on it's way in as I type.

I'm guessing ~640rwhp in a 6speed. It'll be interesting to see what the drivetrain loss works out to be. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I kinda had the same reaction as most of you guys when I got the email yesterday. The power band of this motor is way higher than my last motor so I opted for a Lakewood scattershield, custom clutch recommended by Jerico to go with their transmission, and a Jerico 4 speed. Most of it has been fitted to the car already.
