That's pretty amazing but I'd sure like to know what the charge air temperature is. Am I close and guessing that your lobe seperation is 116? I would also guess there isn't a carburator onboard either.. But those are just guesses.

let me guess big spread between intake and exhaust with the exhaust profile being much larger than the intake

Static compression 8.1:1
Boost pressure 5 psi
Displacement 580"
Heads Merlin 345 w/ 126 CC chambers.
Cam: Lunati Hyd. Blower Cam (.571 - .580) the rest I'm not sure
8-71 Hampton Blower underdriven 5%
766 hp and 753 lbs. torque at 4500.

I went with a conservative setup for longevity but I could always pump up the boost if I want more juice.
