Default 503 from HC Car

I was at LG Motorsports picking up my car when I saw Lou make 503 RWHP from a heads and cam car. I thought I was going to puke. I am only making 530 with my stroker. But I guess I do have him on TQ. I saw Lou pull the heads to check the motor out after the run and they pistons and cylinders looked perfect. Lou was concerned about that kind of power on a stock piston setup. This kind of power from HC cars is amazing.

Way to go Lou.

To all my fellow stroker guys: our day will come! I just hope that it arrives before I'm too old to see beyond the nose of the car.

It is amazing the power coming out of the little 346CID engines now. You gonna try a FAST/90mm TB setup?

I agree, and I think Lou might. If I were making that much power I would at least put good slugs and rings in it.
Cheers
