Those numbers are corrected to simulate the local dyno jet..Our correction has proved to be within 8whp at the 500hp level...The boost on the dyno was barely 14psi for the most of the run...Once we get the CJM Stage 3 we can retune for more boost without going lean..Also the ambient air temp was 101 degrees and 41% humidity the day of the dyno...

Great job, congrats on the power, blah blah... NOW TURN UP THE BOOST!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, it's huge overkill to sleeve a block for mid-400's. ****, it's overkill to sleeve a block for anything less than 700whp IMO. But hey, it's as safe a setup as you can get I suppose.
But congrats in any case. I'm sure it's a blast to drive and at the end of the day that's all that matters.

Nice numbers Rome...you will turn up the boost once u get bored of it haha
Nothing wrong with you playing it conservative for the moment. You are not stupid and just want to play it safe for now... We're not all made of money to go through a ton of blocks and re-tunes haha

we all get used to our HP fairly quickly and you have a great setup to continue to climb the ladder once you tire of your current power level... VERY FORKIN' WISE, imho...

julian - quick question... why is the power dropping off @ 6100? mine does a very similar thing, but i believe it is due to my stock cams... what do you think is causing it on r0mey's setup?
