Re: LD85s ngine combo

the engine sounds great!
looking over the combo the only obvious changes Id suggest is swapping to 40lb injectors, spladed main caps, or a dart block, and a 30 lb billet flywheel.
your combos similar to mine, but IM running a slightly milder cam and 36 lb injectors and an auto with a 3000rpm stall converter, youll quickly see the need for the larger injectors if you spend a good deal of time in the upper rpm range, those 24 lb injectors will be fine in the low & mid RPM range but will tend to lean out above 5000 rpm

ID predict at least a 500hp/500tq flywheel power level, probably a bit more
