Been watching this on AMC for a while! Was looking forward to it!

Best so far from me is 618HP

1798HP having a quick play with the new V8's

i tried to copy the chevy ls7: http://ls1tech.com/forums/generation-iv ... nside.html

1853 HP, My Record Breaker
Highest V8 Power Possible that I Made.

I find that the most power can be achieved with a five valve head, unlike the four cylinders where the maximum power can be reached with the four valve head. More power should be possible when we finally get VVT on the 5 valve heads.

What pistons are you using? Forged reach their rpm limit at 10k an lightweight forged reach their torque limit.

get rid of the catalytic converters and the exhausts and you will get some more power

That isn't strictly true. I tossed two mufflers and cats on my uber V8 and the power didn't change. The thing about NA engines is they actually need some back pressure to function correctly. If you completely remove the exhaust you wont see gains over a good flowing one. It will just be very loud and pollute a lot.

Here is my best. No extra power but I was able to increase the life span of the motor and improve the emissions and loudness without any ill effects. For a 10hp sacrifice you can also get it to about 160MREVs by switching to a performance filter over the race one.

EDIT: for the non Americans, I am using AKI numbers for the octane. I wish this game had race gas available. It's 100 AKI.

I made an V8 with 1500hp @ 9400rpm
