Moot Point, it won't get custom headers, neither me nor the owner is comfortable pushing 900+ through a factory block.
It's not a race motor, it's a streeter, the extra power wouldn't be noticed but may kill the block.
Down the track if/when we get a local strip up & running again we may go to an aftermarket block & turn it up for racing, but until then we'll leave it be.

Nice, im doing a 557 with ported p51s. Very similar combo, just a little more comp and a little more cam. Hoping to see 850 from it.
