i've never understood all the secrecy behind building motors. If your pockets are deep enough you can make as much power as you want.

Exactly! I can't see this thing making 500hp though . . . . not without a gas kit anyway.

Its an Alloy headed 308.... what is hard to believe about it making 500 Flywheel HP ????

The lack of compression, only 308 cubes and the fact those heads only flow 460hp unported.

Because he said in a previous post and no I have never seen a 308 with heads that flow 460hp and 10:1 comp make 500hp.
