Ok motor is in now and running great I did do some changes tho

Now it on E85 and bumped the CR to 13:1.

It was crazy when i measured the pushrods because it now needed two different sizes.

I think 550 rwhp na is optimistic based on the heads and intake selected, they may not flow well enough. Let us know how you make out.

Agree...
I have only 13 more cubes and a some other stuff and i'll be more than happy with 620rwhp NA. Someone on here said 570+rwhp for the OP... I do not know about that one, being very optimistic.

Even with the best 243's, with a FAST 92 combo, my guess is 515/510, which is definitely going to be fun on the street.

I want to do a bigger cube motor possibly this year, and re-use my PI heads and get a solid 500 rwtq and whatever horsepower as I just want a really fun street car.

Don't be surprised if you do not crack 515 RWHP....those heads are terrible for any engine over 400ci, especially one with 13:1 cr. You need 400cfm heads for that thing, then you'll close in on 600 RWHP. But sometimes cash doesn't allow the best stuff.........it'll be fun with the 150 shot for sure. I got tired of my ~500 RWHP fast.....like in a couple weeks.
