I vote option 1, LLSR. The additional cubes will make more average power and those heads will certainly be able to feed the motor.

It's probably pretty close. I think those RHS heads are really good, but I don't know if they'll offset that deficit of 20+ cubic inches. Now if those RHS heads went on the 440ci combo...

Yea that's what I really want to do but 5500 on the bottom end and 8500 on the top end is not in the budget right now but I may just wait another year and just do the 441 with the rhs heads

While Vengeance and others was breaking 600 horse at the tire YEARS ago with a nice fat amount of torque down low in the RPM band to boot

Either cubic inch combo will do it. The bigger engine will do it with less RPM. At those RPMs and power levels I would be looking at the LS7 stuff. I would not bother messing with cathedral at that power level. There is just no point in it. The LS7 format is just superior.
