Yes I would say 500 rwhp is realistic with the camshaft you have. Bob

So got the car on the rollers this past week and was totally blown away with the results... the car ONLY made just under 345 and flat lined a 6600RPM on 7lbs WTF!!!!! the convertor flashed to 5500RPM... No smoke and no nothing out of the ordinary just really down on power... Pulled the Blower off to hope diagnose the issue and it made 316/252 in second gear, @ 268 torque in third. So would be @ 335 if we could make full pull in third so definitely down on power. is the converter is eating up the power? It flashes to 4900 or so on the motor. The convertor is WAY TOO LOOSE but can that be the reason why no numbers are so low?

If the car is driving through the converter, which it sounds like it is, it can trash the converter and send debris through the transmission. Been there and done that, had to have the transmission rebuilt. I'd pull the transmission and converter out and have the converter and transmission looked at. With the blower you need a triple disc converter. Bob
