I haven't made a good pass yet. Old setup was an ls1 with same size cam but heads were a little less ported. It made 30hp/30tq less than now and ran 11.67@115mph on a 1.7 60 ft in a car weighing right at 6700lbs. DA was around 800ft.
Best 1/8th was 7.45@95mph which was better.
I'm hoping to run 11.40@118 or and maybe faster if I ever get to run in good air.
If your car isn't super heavy you should make your goal of 10s. My car isn't a super performer at the drag strip.

Update Just talked to the engine builder today to clarify why he projected such low rwhp. He calculated drive train loss at 28%. On top of that he took off another 40-60 hp because at this point I only have 2.5" true duals. He's putting the motor on the engine dyno by the end of the week and hopes to be around 600 at the flywheel. That makes me feel a little better.

Sounds like one of those promise you a pinto and provide a corvette kinda guys. Ignore that 415. You WILL make a lot more than that. You could leave the parking brake on so you can meet your builders recommendation.
