Are u looking to build a big inch engine Paul or is ya fishing..
Don't really see a need to go big from what I've seen and experienced with the ls ( limited experience). Got a co worker making 720 (crank hp) on pump gas with 427ci..

Just asking in regards to a recent conversation I had with a buddy. He was yapping about how bad azz LS engines are and they will out power bigger Pontiac engines. I was just wondering if any folks had first hand experience with the bigger engines?

Perfer real world information over Google. I've found Google to lead one to believe the Pontiac 557 block with destruct at three hundred horsepower and be safe to a thousand.... Chit there is even info on Google that says Chicago doesn't have a crime problem.

Lmao... I see what you did there. I'm literally crying..����������.
I bet that guy never pointed to anything over 416ci. Bet he never saw the need too...
I knew u were fishing. Lol
As far as real world, how about 376ci with a blower making 687hp at the wheels and getting 21 mpg on the highway. Pontiac much?
Figured u were fishing. Lol

This pump gas Pontiac will hold its own against a lot of LS cars. It made 659 RWHP using 93 octane. It got 14 mpg and I'm sure it'd do better with over drive and a well tuned Q-jet. It also ran well into the nines in street trim.

What kind of times did the LS example you gave turn?

I'm sure it will... maybe I'm bias.. I had a 376ci (supercharged) that walked hellcats... maybe that's my ignorance...

No you are right in this example but "supercharged".

There are people getting a 1000hp boosted out of what I would call regular LS engines.

We know there are people running 10's and better out of stock bottom end LS's but when they blow they just get another jy bottom end and go back to the track. But that's not me is all.

What kind of times did that Caddy run?

I've seen Hellcats run low elevens and faster. Not sure if out running a stock Hellcat with a built to chit LS would be impressive or not

Paul,
Even Butler is doing LS's now get with the program...

And LS's do not need to be built to chit to beat a Hellcat!

Never tracked it.. dynoed ay 687whp... all I know is from a 60mph roll, I smoked a hellcat charger.
At 60mph, it lit up the tires...
Once I grabbed traction, I walked 5 cars on him... hard to swallow for ya but that's what happened. Never lost a race with the car..
I just sold it 2 weeks ago with the intent to be responsible... ( been 190mph in the car) ...
Now I'm looking at a several C6 ZO6 cars... 1000lbs lighter.. found several making 1000hp at the wheels... Pontiac much?

[Scarebird]

625hp, $10,299 for longblock

525hp, $9,533 straight from the factory with coils, etc.
