Anybody making 500 hp or more with stock pistons?

 

500hp with stock pistons shouldnt be hard at all when theres 700+hp guys with stock pistons..

 

My setup is in my sig, but for what it's worth on a mustang dyno it put down 366hp/402ft. lb. on a 100 degree day.

 

what gears you running KMAN?? 12.89 seems low for that setup..ive seen simular setups run 12.5's...

 

3.73 gear. 26x11.50x16 tire. well like it says personal best. It doesn't run that consistently. The night I ran that time I'd say it was about 60 degrees outside. Normally on a 85 degree night it runs 13.1 -13.3 pretty consistent.

 

Sounds really close to what I have but not the injectors,I already had the long tubes, my engine was a 2004 LQ4 not a LQ9,but we did mill the heads and he did a very good port job,as far as the other mods you got I have just about the same,Efans,same gears,I also have a 150 shot to put on top of it too.

 

Bit of a update,old engine is out and all is swapped over,just doing some clean up work under the hood and painting some things,waiting for some parts to come back from the powder coat,slow and steady I'm getting it done,with out a extra set of hands I never wold have gotten this far,

Block was basically seized to the trans,but after some PB blaster and a big *** pry bar we got it,soon as the other engine is in and the converter is hooked back up I can take back over and finish it off,maybe this week I can be up and running.

 

As I said,she runs......

 

We want videos.
