Hey Ernie....

The highest peak horsepower I've found so far is with an Engel solid flat tappet cam. With all else staying the same and just comparing cams, the Engel cam showed 502 hp. I also got extremely close to that result with 2 other cams....one was an Isky solid flat tappet, and the other was a Comp solid flat tappet.

The Engel cam was a split duration/split lift cam.

The caveat....Peak was at 6500 revs....

Shift at 6700?

Keith Craft says a 2 bolt FE block will withstand 6500 revs....

I have a stump puller SBF....I was wanting something on the revvy side of the river this time....

Is it kosher with ARP studs, quality valvetrain and rocker shafts and H-beam rods?
