Yippy skippy, hot dang our 511 is all done and here! Big thanks to Mike and Larry (Fastlane Machine, Orem Utah) for building it and taking the great assembly pics that I’ve been posting. Really pumped to see what it’ll do, anything north of 550 horsepower will be a win with this street combo.
Here’s what the Go Fast Math horsepower calculator thinks.

Stage 2: Dual Plane High-Rise
Intake duration @ .050: 233
Tappet type: Roller
Dynamic compression ratio: 8.92:1 (best guess)
Engine displacement: 511
Cylinders: 8
Peak intake flow in CFM @ 28” of water: 320 (best guess also)
I need to grab just a few small items (distributor, plugs, etc.) and make an appointment with Kidd Performance for a break-in and dyno tune. Then we’ll see how close the calculator came to the actual figures.
