Hey Mike!

We pulled off the heads and are making some compression changes as well as a porting change that has shown a 20 cfm increase in flow!

Should be back on the dyno in a couple of weeks. Shooting for 520!

Yes I agree a sonic test will be the best check. Didn't know if someone else has tried it!

How's your project?

Thanks MTI Roadster
Do you know what the stock 6.0 cranks stroke is? Can I have the stock crank offset ground to 4.00in? Or is this impossible? Sorry for my ignorance but I have little knowlegde when it comes to engine math and engine rebuilding. I would like to keep the project under a budget and if the stock crank can do I'll use it. It should handle the power I want from it. The 6.0 blocks still use the 6 bolt mains right?
Thanks,

Stock 6.0 stroke is 3.622 same as the 5.7, the biggest I have seen a stoke crank offset groud is 3.72, and the 6.0 has the same mains as the 5.7 block, hope this helps
