Here's the thread talking about it.

Here is a direct link to the 514rwhp engine offered by Speed Inc.

Imagine a RADIX on top of this beast pushing 7-8 psi.

Is the 427 based on a 6.0 block? I thought back in the day when MTI came out with the 420ci motor it would use oil because of the cylinder walls shifting. I know CHP did a build up on a C5R block, making like 461ci I think, expensive as hell but bad ***.

i never said anyone wasn't in my league....you ASSumed i meant it that way. for most people in this truck section that much power would not only be sufficient, it would be WAY to much....for myself, i think that would be a good baseline power level to start off at, and then throw a power adder at it and see where that takes you. ofcourse that's if i had that kind of money which i don't so i stick to what i have for now.

I disagree with ya slow. I think a lot of people on this forum would love to have a 500+ rwhp vehicle.

they would love it....but like i said, the very vast majority couldn't handle it and wouldn't use it to it's full potential, and there's even fewer with the income, or the incentive, not to mention the know how to do something like that.

I almost take offense to that. I think that I could and would handle it . I would more than willingly put that in my truck. I would also be planning on putting that RADIX kit sitting in my storage room on top of it after it got broke in decently.

Maybe you don't give the folks in the forum as much credit as you might should.
