Nice power level. Not record setting but 1050 is a lot of HP.

What does that matter? It's a race engine...

I’m thinking that no matter what brand of engine you chose to run, when you get over 1000 HP, you’re pretty much all aftermarket parts.
This is the race section right?

Trying to learn here. Does the LSA of 117 seem high? Why would a LSA of 106-110 not
be more appropriate here? It works well. |

Very high compression and induction is very strong. |

My 1050hp 511ci ran 116ls and shifted at 8600-8700rpm |

106-110 work well on cylinder head limited and/or lower rpm applications. Properly designed ports for high rpm as well as bigger inches require valve events that equate to wide lobe separation angles for the rpm needed to make power. |

So why not just go with a big inch Hemi and make custom billet aluminum valve covers with the name PONTIAC on them? Kinda like when Pontiac no longer made its own engines and used big block Chevies with Pro Stock "Pontiac" 427 heads. Remember those? That wasn't a Pontiac engine either, but some will say it was because the valve covers had "Pontiac" cast on them - same as my Hemi idea, and probably a much stronger running engine seeing it's a race engine.

Who in their right mind will call a engine a PONTIAC if the engine under the valve covers is not ? We will never have the power they do, not enough bore spacing.
People who race Pontiacs do it because they are Pontiac die hards. My kinda folk. |

No offense, but your analogies are way off base and don't apply to the topic. |
