Look. Right now I have 531 rwhp on a completely bone stock engine. My only mods are headers and tune. My 100% stock base line dyno pulls were 454 rwhp. That's a 13.5% loss. Using this 13.5% loss at my current rwhp my crank hp is estimated at 613 crank hp. I haven't even touched the intake, heads, cams, compression etc. I am not saying getting 87 additional hp would be easy, but it is not undo able. I know my pushrod engine experience isn't the same but I've done more with less. It wasn't unheard of to get 2hp per cubic inch out of a 289 that originally had 225hp and spin it to 9k rpm. We are now talking about a 2016 engine. Not 1960s technology.
Custom head casting are not needed to reach my goal. Especially when a boss 5.0 made 598 rwhp. NA. I could bump the compression up from the stock 12.0:1, head port work, custom cams and timing, custom intake and make huge gains over stock.
