Thank you Rod, I wasn't aware anyone did. I stand corrected. I see the reason he does is his Super Stock engine program. I am most familiar with the Hemi and Wedge programs.

My advice to Al still stands. He could build 1300HP in a Pond aluminum but not his 'desired' 600 inches. That would require a bore of 4.500 or greater, which CGI would allow. Then custom pistons.
Al could still get to 527 at a lesser expense. Would like to know if he just wants to build a 'bragging rights' motor.
