With that high compression, I think you will make 710 ~ 760 rwhp.

My guess

Bythe way, have a look at Holly new EFi intake (http://www.holley.com/300-229.asp) that can take two accufab 4500 throttel body (each will flow 2128 CFM, http://www.accufabracing.com/index.p...cid=1&Itemid=5) or the accufab Four Barrel 8500 (each will flow over 3,600 CFM, http://www.accufabracing.com/index.p...cid=1&Itemid=5).



See the below link in the youtube for a LSX 455ci with twin trottel:

Thanks

Should be bad *** and in the neighborhood of the mid 800's at the crank, give or take 20hp.

I wouldn't use the RHS LS7's but thats just me. I would look at the All-Pro LSW 12-2's. You can talk to Bob there and he can set the head up to your exact specs. Pick the runner, pick the valves, pick the spring package, get it set up the way you want. Just tell him what you are doing and he will recommend what is needed.

I think I could live with those numbers for now. The car race weight should fall in that 2200 lb range with driver. So high 7's maybe ?
