If "research" is such a bad thing why are you wasting your time here? Research is what the forums are here for.
Dyno numbers need to be taken with a grain of salt anyway. I know a guy with an honest mid 9 second mid to high 14Xmph 4300lbs+ car that has a 400rwhp dyno chart.
A TH400 might drop dyno numbers 50hp from a T56 BUT it will likely be faster down the track.
In know someone with a 422rwhp LS in a car 1000lbs lighter than mine, and only a tenth or two quicker

I barely put 350 to the wheels with a cam AND heads on my stock shortblock build, but it still went 11.7x's consistantly.
PS: Bone stock LT1 heads do not flow enough to put down 400rwhp.

What if told some of you guys Gizmo on here did 425+rwhp with his stock Ci motor, stock untouched heads and intake, CAM ONLY.
Big power can be made on the stock top end, but its going to take a lot of duration (cam size) to make it.
