W/a 402, 225 AFR's, & P1 @ 4psi, I was at 557 CRWHP....So if your planning on a D1 @ 9psi you should easily exceed your goal of 550

So what kinda numbers can I expect even though I'm not a LS1.
D1SC 12-14psi
LT1 396 -31cc dished 8.1:1cr
LT1 heads flow 275-194ish range
Cam 232/242 .544/.560 .@.050 115LSA
60lb Motron injectors racetronix 255 pump
FLP headers GMMG
D&D M6 tranny & Street Twin clutch

I could get very detailed but that should be enough to get a baseline answer I think. Think I could squeeze 600-650rwhp out of that?
Thanks

Like Cyborg posted above.His 402 with the tiny P1 oushing 4lbs hit's over 550hp I see no reason why a D1 couldn't push over 700rwhp on pump gas on that 402

BTW-the 55lber's will be too small and plan on a whole fuel system.


Another note -I run 12lbs on my stock motor

Mine:95 LT4
648 RWHP/612 TQ pump gas on 12 lbs of boost
722 RWHP/713 TQ on C-16 and around 16 lbs of boost.

Just a word of advice, I started with 50lb Lucas injectors and ran out of injector. I now have 80lb delphi injectors and my duty cycle is at 79%. You might be close with the 60 lb..
