I put together a 383 hydraulic roller pump gas sbc for my 69 and it was between 10 and 11k. Made 541 HP on the dyno. And thats starting with everything new.
Thanks. Good to hear it..

Whatever you build, make sure it's tailored to your specific ideals. If you do plan to really road race, put a road race pan on it. If you don't want to work on it all the time, don't build a rowdy combo. If you don't think adjusting valves on a Friday night is your idea of a good time, go hydraulic. You get the point.
