As far as performance goes, you won't find another 10:1 pump gas compression 489/496 Big Block Chevrolet making 744 hp at 7500 rpm's, with a street friendly solid roller camshaft with a 252 intake duration, and a 260 exhaust duration. This is the original version.

If I'm reading this right, you not only have the fastest small block in the world, but now the best 496 also ? Dang .........

If history tells us anything, it'll be awhile until we see another 10:1 compression 489/496 Big Block Chevrolet making 744 hp at 7500 rpm's, with street friendly camshaft duration in the 250's 260's.
This is the original version.
It's not a big deal unless you make it one.
By crying, lying and denying.
It is what it is.

I'm still confused why you don't post this record breaking combo over on Yellowbullet ?? Seems they would all love to see the spectacular numbers of such a simple combo. OH I get it now......... They wouldn't believe it
When can we expect to see a timeslip from this said 744 hp ???
Racetracks don't lie.

There's no authority on yellow bullet I've seen. Name one authority of horsepower on Yellow Bullet with a set out of the box Brodix or AFR 23 degree sbc cylinder heads in the 5's, 1/8 mile, n/a, @ 3200 lbs ? The most common combo in the history of drag racing.
You can't.
I'm the only to do that, and I built the engine, transmission and ring & pinion. .
Fact.

None of your so called claims can be confirmed! The weight of the car and of course your claim of OTB heads and custom welded intake......don't forget that ONE fuzzy time slip LOL

The other thing is this. I built this engine the way I'd want it to be if I owned a muscle car, I drove to car shows on Saturday night.
If I had a muscle car, I'd want it to be fast and accelerate hard from traffic light, to traffic light. That's where the action is for a guy with a muscle car he drives to the local hamburger joint car show, on weekends.
I built it in a fashion, i'd want it. A guy that no prep races is a guy who can see and understand why this powerband will out accelerate most BBC 496 powerbands traffic light to traffic light, because he's a guy who understands the limitations of traction on the street.
The action (races) are traffic light to traffic light - muscle cars
Good bracket racing powerband too, 6200 - 6600 converter.

Sooner than you think Big talker
While I'm proving to *myself* what it will run with my engine, transmission and ring and pinion I assembled, lets make a friendly $100 bet on what it will run, in a 3500 lb car on a 10 x 28 tire.
What will it run 1/8 mile Big talker?
10:1 compression ratio.

The Journey to 700 ft lbs is gonna need a shot of NOS to get there from 600 ft lbs
And no one really cares how fast it runs or in what car or who did the engine trans and rear or if your dog took a chit recently....

I kinda changed approach once it dawned on me it could peter out at 6500 rpm's 252 260 duration camshaft, if I didn't port the heads.
Once I looked around a little I noticed the trend was a high torque number at low rpm.
Spinning the tires on the street ain't no fun. Acceleration on the street, is where the fun is at.
This ain't no fun. Unless you want your azz tore out the frame rails on the street by a Toyota Camry.
