I will post the numbers as soon as I have them
I have a slightly different list of parts, but an Eagle 4.100 crank and it balanced up really nice only slugs needed.
The motor is pretty much done I'm just waiting on my freshened up M6.

I'm hoping for the north side of 500rwhp and maybe the torque too!
I'll PM a link to some photo's as the builder is not currently a sponser. hopefully soon though.

I'm sure it is a good package. However, for over $10k plus installation and brick and brack I would go to a big bore, which unshrouds the valves and gives a further boost to displacement. Up to 4.2" bore can make a 457 (or a 454 or 455).
455 GTO...umm sounds familiar.

you can get a 402 with the afr 225 right now from texas speed without any core charges for only 6600 don't spend 11000 whatever you do plus installation there are much better prices out there. SDPC has similar prices. 6600 includes a cam installed also. Only main difference is a eagle crank instead of a callies and you could also get the 4.10 eagle crank so for 6600 you can get 412 CI.
What would you think of that combo with a whipple charger on top? I want somethign that is gonnna kick butt but gonna last too. It will be going in my 2002 trans am. Think the aluminum block will be enough for this combo or should you go with the iron block?
An Eagle crank sure isn't a weak link in that engine. The aluminum block is the weakest link. I would run that eagle crank in a 1000 hp turbo motor but I wouldn't run the block at that power. An Iron 6.0l block is cheaper holds a lot more power and weighs about 65 lbs more.
Block Strength The LS2 block will take 1000HP. I have run 4.100 BigBore LS1 blocks to close to 170mph in the 1/4 and it held up for numerous passes and seasons. Of course it had lots of strength options also ( oversized ARP studs, welding,etc).
The LS2 block has nearly a 1/4" of added aluminum around the sleeves, and also siamesed tying them in all together making it very rigid!
