Default 500 Rwhp Possible?

I am not to knowledgeable about the lsx motors since i started with an LT1 but I am just wondering if i will be able to pull 500Rwhp out of my build.

408 iron stroker.
12cc pistons
L76 intake 90mm tb
42# SVO injectors
L92 heads milled to 65cc chambers and some exhaust porting.
patriot gold springs
custom street able cam
dyno tuned
built 4-l60e with 3600 stall
3.73 rear gear.
stock LSx WP
no ac or emissions

just a basic build looking to make good power.

biggest factor right now would be what size your cam is and how well it matches your heads... its gonna be a little tougher with an auto and a stall.... and I heard the l76 intakes were somewhat limiting when used...

Cam size please? Streetable to me is 234 or lower duration and with something like you will not get 500rwhp through an auto.

Agreed... Although through an m6 ive seen 232/236 cams with lsk lobes make incredible power...

Ya i knew cam size would be a factor I plan to have one specked when I am further along so i cant really say size probably will be looking to spin to 6500.

I will probably be looking in the 238-240s range 600+ lift

Going over the 500 RWHP barrier is doable.
On my little 346 Ci. NA we obtained 511 rwhp AND 455 RWTQ...

Not a cheap way extracting those # from a "small cubic engine", but it was an interesting challenge!!!

Drivability is impressive, mileage is in a positive range, fun is immediate every time I jump on the right pedal...

I wrote some accurate instructive threads about my complete building and tuning process with graphs and videos, it may help in your decision.
