Good info but seems to be a bit far from what the thread is about (what it might take to get 454tbi motors to generate ~400hp).

I know mine runs now but only has a few miles around the local neighborhood. Because of the limited seat time, I can't say how well the combo runs. I'm finishing up the rear suspension so I should have it on the road by February.

If it still feels lethargic, I'll go 6.0....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
