As stated above. I’m currently running 83mph @5300 rpms. I’d like to think I’d gain 7+mph by building 600hp a side. That would put me at an honest 88mph ballpark.

I took a 502mag MPI and added some Edelbrock heads and a cam and got 567hp out of it. Pretty much by upgrading your heads and camshaft, you should be able to get 600hp. I have a proven 700hp 540 EFI build recipe if you are interested, but the only piece you would be reusing is your blocks and would probably spend another 30K on parts.

Does it have to be converted to EFI in order for your recipe to be achieved?

A friend ran 5 blades on his 353 with 525's and boxes - snapped many drives. Moved to 4 blades and stopped the carnage.
