I've heard like 500 rwhp, but that's just what I heard, not what I know, so yeah. I'd also like to know for sure. Anyone?

yeah, ok well my engine dyno'd 577, but i dont know what im at for rwhp i would think probably high 400's, but i have a fairly new NOS system i purchased when my car was mostly stock, and now its just lying on the garage floor, and i want to hook it back up just so no one walks away with it. but i dont know how small of a shot i can go to, or if my block can even handle any more power.

90 lx, 347, AFR 205's, victor jr., 750 holley, hooker super comps, c-4, 4.10 gears, subframe connectors, msd ignition,

Your block is already in danger. Leave the n2o out of it

bhp x drivetrain loss = whp

577 x .82 = 473whp.... 18% is generally used for a manual...you'll lose a good bit more out of a c4 but you get the idea. point is you're in the red zone.stock block is a ticking timebomb after 450whp... some hold for a while...others don't ...it's just a matter of time.
