Still think you can have 600 hp / 600 foot lbs torque even with your keyed snout adapter.

Not knowing or should I expect a lot of performance mods... I'd say 550hp / 500 foot lbs torque

If they are totally stock engines I say 400 / 500 .

I am hoping the coupling survived. :-)

Everything survived 13 pulls. I had a little rear carb float issues. It liked 32 degrees total. I took it to 5000 rpm hp was still climbing. Torque peek was 3500.

You must give pipefactory more credit. I am sure he has given some cam and some porting. After all he plans on using it in 3 ton his motor home. Hehehehehehehe!

Ah so you kept the motors stock. That is odd about the torque curve. If anything it should have jumped over stock. Though dyno measurements can be a broad scale when it comes to comparing numbers from one or another.

I used Elgin rv cams edelbrock intakes and summit racing carbs, my exhaust was the limiting factor. Free flows into 2.5 dual pipes.
It did go past 400/500
