Although, Gerhard recommends a different intercooler pump than the (Ford Lightening) Bosch pump for engines from the 700 to 900 hp range. The Bosch pump flows around 8 GPM. According to Gerhard, the minimum Water-Flow-Rate for an Engine-Output of 700 -900 HP is 15 GPM; considering the Sensitivity of Pumps to Head-Pressure, Gerhard recommends to purchase a Pump with a nominal Capacity of about 23 GPM. Actually, that pump that he recommends is from Dedenbear.
As for 800 to 850 hp, well, the only trick that I didn't do on mine was the L92 VVT cam mod, but Lance Nist of Pantera Efi has got about 100 hp with that modification. If you want to change to an LSX block, then this Harrop from Thompson Engines made close to your hp range. Actually, I think Michael Hewitt of Harrop told me it made around 930 hp, but I think it was the other camshaft. http://www.thomsonengines.com/downlo...Enthusiast.pdf Actually,. Michael Hewitt emailed me the latest pricing sheets this week.

not yours, another members engine. I believe the temps, he has no reason to exagerrate. Why would I need an LSX block, how much boost does it take to make 930 hp? And, is it repeatable at normal street engine temps, or a special ice cold run for a big number? Magnachargers version has passed that number, but as a dyno chasing deal only with non-normal water temps to keep the air temps down.
