I do not doubt for a second that impressive power can be achieved with this displacement engine, I just have to make sure I have all my ducks lined up first.
I was considering Larry's 500 cuber in WA...

...but I think it would be a nightmare to get ticketed in NSW.
I am keen to learn more about enhanced small block performance (yes I know the 350 chev is a SB but never had smaller than 5.7 in a V8) as this is an avenue that I have never pursued in the 5.0 range...so thanks for the input. I am still not sold on the centrifugal SC's though as they lack the Eaton opera that I loved with the Wagon from 2K Rpm upwards.
