yeah it was supposed to be 8500, any way. I destroked it to decreas reciprocation. shorter stroke throws less weight. in a nutshell i did it for the rpms. I made up for the airflow loss by addin a turbo.and believe it or not, im making 486hp w/ 491ft/lbs with a low lift long duration cam (to lessen the chance of valve float) its more of a novelty engine than anything. what i would really love to do is take a 460 punch it out to some where near 500 and get it to rev up to 9 grand flat, and have it live there, an dlive well. yes its jsut a dream but hey i guy has to have dreams right?
