Default 650+HP BBc

Just wondering here, might get into the business of building and selling some BBc engines, nothing crazy just like say 650Hp pump-gas with dual-plane "198" style intakes.

Just looking at the market. We have just did a 468 with closed chamber LS-6 heads and "198" intake and it made 709Hp@6100 and 730Ft/lbs@4800 with 94 Octane pump gas. Looking at what GM get's for their "crate" 572's that don't make the power we can (not saying they can't. BUT there 572/720 is also 12-1 and with a dominator and single plane intake).

In a '68-'72 style Nova, we are thinking these would run well into the 9's and still look mostly OEM but for headers.

Now even thought these motor don't make a lot of hp by today's standards, most would struggle to get that with a dual-plane intake. So since we done the R&D on these, might be time to move onto different endeavours.

Thanks John
