very well stated Eric. no one is looking for a "perfect world" setup. with the same top end, the bigger motor will outperform the smaller motor. it's as simple as that.

i will be getting in touch with you about a 5.4L mod motor this winter

that's what's on the SAM car I believe, highly worke c5r heads, with twin 4150's IIRC and a sheet metal.

I agree with the guy saying there isn't a head out there to flow w/ the higher cubed motors....yet.

I want to know when those heads are going to be released for public purchase.

Gonna be interesting to see if it puts down the same RWHP or close...to a 427-454ci with ported LS7 heads and a FAST/LS7 intake set-up.

I'm thinking its gonna be right around the same power. 600-625 RWHP, maybe a little more.

When do you think it will dyno?

CR?
Cam specs?
tranny?
Gears?

11.8:1
around 258/268 and .700 lift
c6 z06 with stock 3.42

if it makes under 625, i will be very disappointed. i know peak hp isn't the only factor with this big of a motor but still....

for future comparison purposes, i consistently trapped 136-137 on my 427 making 590rwhp in +800 to +1000 DA.

I am definitely curious to see what it dyno's, but I will bet that if your similar 427 combo dyno'd at 590rwp.... my guess will be 681rwp with the same heads intake combo. What do I get if I win? LOL.

^ i wish...im thinking that's close to where we will eventually end up. 675 would be nice. i think 700 is definitely possible with this bottom end if you go all out and spend the money on All Pro heads, custom intake manifold, etc. fun stuff.

results for now are 650hp/600tq

kpa reading of 93 up top with the fast 102 intake and ls7 tb

ordering a NW 102mm TB. other than that, i just want to drive the car around for a while. i probably wont race it til the spring anyway so we'll **** with other stuff later. maybe a bigger cam, custom airbridge/air filter setup, maybe speed density, cutouts etc. i dont wanna get rid of the stock NPP catback.

also, from what i was told by the shop, ERL sent us a cam they liked instead of the cam we specced out. kinda annoying if true. who knows. it definitely idles better and lopes less than my 427 did. hopefully at least the comrpession ratio is where i wanted it.

Are you sure the kpa reduction isnt because of your intake filter or tract?
Or did you log it with no air intake connected to the throttle?
If so sounds like you need at least to port the 90mm throttle. Let us know how the 102mm throttle goes with that.
In theory a gain of 6 kpa could give you 5%+ more power
What was your total timing at wot?

Is that 650hp with an engine dyno or chassis dyno????

nope, not 100% sure

next plan of attack is to start with the 102mm tb and see if we need to build a custom pipe from the tb with a big filter on the end. no idea right now.

ill ask my tuner about timing when i pick up the car on wednesday

If you have the cash, get an ITB intake. You'll get close to or over 700 RWHP. There's a 454 LSX iron build with one that made 742 RWHP. Street friendly cam.

650 RWHP is pretty good though, with that top end.

link to this 454 build?

ITB is currently too much of a pain in the *** for a street car IMO: https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...installed.html

If it was a simple plug and play application with documented gains, I would think about it.

Its easy to tune and it makes for a great 600rpm idling street daily driver on his 454ci. You just have to know what your doing to tune it. The owner of the 454ci engine in the video is also the tuning expert that owns Waitformeperformance.com that did the tuning. That intake made 65 hp more than his FAST 90/90. 61 more than his Wilson sheet metal.

Don't see how anyone can ask for a better idle than that for a big cube engine.
Heads flow 372cfm at 650. Modified AFR 245's.
Final Cam specs are 650lift 260 duration @50 on a 114ls on 1.7 ratio

He obviously has less drivetrain loss than we would because of that tranny he's using.
