...spoil sport........DD2000 has it at in the 500HP range. So I would easily expect it to hit over 400HP in real life.

I dig the cylinder head covers. Very nice indeed

Never been much of a Superram fan myself but if you have to be smog legal it definately is a nice way to go .

What are the cam specs and what are you using for exhaust? Also, what ECM and fuel injectors are you using? I am a bit skeptical of DD's numbers...just look at the newest Car Craft and what they need to get 500 HP from that engine with a solid roller cam.

I couldn't find that info on your site...

I have a Super ram too with an Edelbrock base and am considering a Stealth Ram when I swap the Pro Action heads on.

I don't trust DD2000's numbers much myself...that's why when it said upper 480-490 I took it as 400-410. I'll get the cam specs and stuff when I get to work.

My guess would be close to 450 HP without Nitrous. That is a fairly mild cam and those heads, while flowing ok, aren't the best heads in that intake runner size. But they are comparable to the budget trick flow heads.

I like your setup.

Here is what mine will be-

406
-stock crank, cast pistons, stock rods with ARP bolts
-Pro Action Aluminum Lightning 220 cc intake runner heads with CNC chambers
-Either Stealth Ram (just ordered) or Super Ram (have in Garage)
-MAF setup (possible switch to '730 in the near future)
-30# SVO injectors
-1 5/8" headers with custom y-pipe to single 3" mandrel bent pipe all the way back to Hooker Aerochamber 3" in/3"out and no cat
-Comp. ratio 10:1 (roughly, within .2)
-Cam is hydraulic flat tappet. 222 I @.500 and 226 E with 112 LSA and total lift .480.
-Stock TB
-Crane Blazer Full Roller Rockers 1.5 ratio

The rebuilt shortblock has only about 1500 miles on it and a redline of 5900 rpm. I decided that I am just going to bolt the upper end on and see what I get. Those heads are a bit big for the current cam and will easily support 500 HP. But I am kind of curious to see how the above combo will work. I think 450 HP is attainable...we shall see.

I have also an ACT 2600 stall 9.5" convertor and Pro-Built Trans to put in. Lots to do coming up.

The superram maybe a torque monster but the heads definately are not. Still a pretty nice setup. You will make good power, and I assume this is more a race truck than a work truck anyway so

Have fun pulling the top off of that superram once it's in the car to run the throttle cables.
