Hello Group:
Thought I would run this by the experts here. Based upon the below, what's your estimate of HP on my almost finished 496 stroker?
I have a longblock built:
Gen IV Block
GM Alum Heads,118 cc Chambers, 300cc Intake Runner, 110cc Exhaust Runner, 2.25" Intake, 1.88" Exhaust
Comp Pro Magnum Roller Rockers
Cam is hydraulic 292 advertised duration, or [email protected]", .544" lift, 112 degree lobe centers/Hyd lifters
Flat top pistons/9.1 Comp
Dart intake
Dooley 10qt pan/mellings pump
I am finishing the motor with:
Mighty Demon 850 Carb
Thunderbolt IV Dist/Crane HI-6 Box
3” Oil/Power steering cooler
Holley Mech Fuel Pump/Reg
Thermostat Crossover
Lightning Headers
So whaddya guys think?

Rule of Thumb: 1hp per 1 cubic inch. So say your at 496 h.p. to start. The heads will give a little, the exhaust will give a little, Cam doesn't hurt anything. My guess 530 to 540hp.
