I am very happy it 'only' has 580hp. I just wanted to know what others have experienced with this setup to see if I was in the ballpark.

BTW, the dyno sheet is in my pic gallery.

It looks like your motor is close to what we had built. I had Keith build a 482 Pond Aluminum engine with Dual Carbs. It dynoed out at 606hp at or close to 6000rpm, with 589ft-tq at 4300rpm. More engine than I am experienced to run. I think I would have been happy with less. I told them what I wanted, and they went over and beyond what I asked. I will definitely have KC build my next engine, as I am sure you will too!
