16.8 is what I got with a lg4 that had a spun bearing(in my formula).I did power tune it though.That was with a lathargic 1.019 rt. My 400 has more power at 1/4 throttle than the lg4.Lets put it this way,I just tore up a s10 extreme.I did it idling in overdrive(don't they run about 16.8?).Poor extreme just did't corner good.Did'nt see the bend in the road(thats another story though).I just finished the motor and can't give it wot yet.But at half throttle it feels like a rocket.I will be at gateway int. in 2 weeks and will find out.I love others input though. Is this just too exotic of a swap to calculate?
