Larry, that thing will make more than 850 on HP alone easy and it may make more but I know you are building it for spray so it will come alive when you smack it for sure!!!!!

should be no problem, it should run 5.60-5.50 on HP and with a 350 shot it should run 5.10-5.00's, let see what happens

Big bore, decent can, maybe a little more work on the heads than your letting on.  Low 900s with a little tuning.

Lem that's the same question I have why only 12.1. But that's what my engine Builder said it was. When I did my diamond pistons caculator I came up with 13.1 so I don't know if I'm putting something in there incorrectly
