Got an update on the motor. It made 520/500 on the dyno today. That is through SLP headers/Y-pipe/single exhaust. Owner is talking about doing a true dual setup, so that should put it at 530-540.

I heard you guys did good the other night with the yellow car.
I was expecting to see more than that honestly. I don't think that motor is cammed right. Although 630 fwhp is a lot, I've seen the same results with a lot less.
I'm not trying to rain on your parade, just suggesting there may be even more left in this combination.

You spelled it wrong. It's "Clouseau".
I was getting ready to qualify the statement I made by my own experience on the dyno, but I'd hate to be pointing out the obvious.
Good luck with it.

Good luck

I am reading the comments from The Dragon as an informative help to give you a reference...
And I don't see the point about beeing a hero or beeing a dyno king...
I just imagine the amount of human, logistical plus money investment you are spending trying to create the best possible power with your project, respect for that.
The post of The Dragon seems pretty clear for me, with this size of engine you can expect a little more...but you have maybe already enough power to be satisfied with I guess!!!
