Reality Check.- Time to go Boost unless you want to spend lots of money.

Sell all of your listed parts in the classifieds. You'll need lots of high rpm. Pretty sure that Comp Cams 54-469-11 has no potential to make 800+ hp NA. Likewise with the 317 heads ported or not. It's very unlikely they will move the required 350+ cfm of air on an honest flow bench no matter what's done never mind the other stuff.

Then get ready to spend big $$$$$ at a top notch shop on far superior cylinder heads, fancy intake manifold, a custom flat plane crank and aftermarket engine management system.

Better yet use your parts and add boost

That's a 500-550hp engine. Gap the rings and put nitrous on it and you're there.

Take a look at my build thread on here and see what all is involved. My engine is capable is 630-650fwhp with the cam being the biggest limiting factor right now as it's tailored to a heavy SUV. Not enough cubes, not enough airflow or camshaft but I'm definitely no expert.

12cc domes correct? I'm running the same setup and there's no way your getting 800hp NA unless your NA means a nitrous application.

I was just being brutally honest and I certainly hope your not calling me a troll because the only time I'm trolling is when I'm on my fishing boat. IDGAF about what you got going on or anyone else on here for that matter.

I would hope so. 2hp per cubic inch is pretty unrealistic.

I feel like Ty is pulling our chains. Certainly the thread is a joke, on both of his posts. Concerning the 2hp per cubic inch comment, be on the lookout for a mega-dollar N/A build coming. It’s gonna make 3hp per cubic inch…maybe a tad more. Spinal Tap 2.0 from EFI University. 358 ci. 11k rpm. 1100+hp.
