Highest NA RWHP?

The Best V8 Stories One Small Block at Time
Remember dyno #'s are great and they are used as a tool to show the potential of a car. They do not necessarily mean the car will run the times w/out a supporting platform. Gordon's FMS 418 - 612rwhp (6-speed, LS6 intake)
581rwhp (T400 FAST 90 intake)
Ray's FMS street 434 - 605rwhp (6-speed, FAST 90 intake)
Both through 12 bolt, gears and steel flywheels.

Most people who race ask for a more aggressive setup. Usually that means more compression. Therefore not being pump gas friendly. Also depending on where you live will cause your compression to be lower or you to run less timing on HOT DAYS. Well I live in Florida and Futral Motorsports made it a point to keep my compression safe even though I told them I can reduce timing with the timing tuner. I even suggested running a bigger cam to bleed off compression, but Futral Motorsports told me to stick with the original plan. Which was building a potent, idle perfect, street car. Well that is what was delivered to me on June 22nd. Am I picky? Yes, I drove around with my scan tool and verified my timing was 28 degree's at WOT. No KR on pump gas in Louisiana. How do I know? I filled the car up. I drove the car all the way back to Florida using 93 octane and I saw no KR. On day two of having the car home it was especially HOT. To be exact it was 97 degrees out at 1pm. I took a friend for a ride and we both could hear knocking when I hit 5krpm on a quick blast. I pulled out my scan tool to verify. I saw 3 degrees retard. I got out of the car and used my nifty timing tuner and reduced timing to a MAX of 6 degrees. I forgot to mention I had already reduced timing that morning because I knew it was going to be hot. Anyway, I took my car for another blast and no KR. It drove perfect on 22 degree's of timing on a VERY HOT Summer day. My compression is 11.7:1. My cam is not much bigger than the Trex that is going in 346's. Allan Futral wanted to keep the low rpm tq high to maintain driveability and reduce bucking below 2krpm. I have 3.73's and I think my old 4.10 combo would have been perfect for this setup NA, but on the spray on the street, 3.73's are better.
Basically what I am trying to say is depending on the combo, location where customer lives, finances available to customer and integrity of the engine builder/tuner will determine what is pump gas friendly.

So that's the highest NA RWHP LS1 known?
I guess in a few weeks the car I've been talking about will hit the track and then maybe they'll let the truth be known.It should be obvious on which one I'm talking about.

Those are just a couple of authorized disclosures, not everyone spills the news of their setup online
I have no clue who you are talking about unless however the car is yours
hmmm
