new super street engine

I had the same 505 combo in my S/G Camaro. I went with a 4.500 bore with the rest of my parts in the new block. It is a 540. The increase in bore size and the 4.250 stroke work great. I picked up 6 MPH on the stop. HP on the 505 was 835 and the 540 is 870. This is on a tight dyno with real numbers. I would buy pistons and a block and call it good. Some flow bench time dont hurt and I ran mine up to 14.8 from 13.2 for compression.
