Great info you guys, thank you! the pan looks like an aftermarket baffled pan, of course no way of knowing whether it is baffled or not from the outside, but its definitely an aftermarket aluminum piece and not a factory piece. It looks like my limit at this point would be the fuel line diameter, so I will have to investigate this more with a flashlight.

I think tonight I am going to duplicate what I have setup in desktop dyno and play around with some different cam specs I can find on the net just to get an idea of what might change. I've seen a few engine builders/cam designers make fun of this software, but honestly it was pretty damn close on my last motor build once I had everything spec'd out correctly. I let an engine builder spec the cam for my last motor and then just plugged it into my build on desktop dyno. I really wouldn't mind a solid roller in the mid .600 lift range. My a4 based 308 runs one with .670.

Aside from a cup motor, do you guys know of any 35x builds on here in some drivers that are pushing 500bhp? What do you guys think of pushing the cleveland into the 6500-7000 rpm range? I've read a few sites talking about not overboring anymore than .040 at risk of having to thin of a wall. I suspect only being at .030 there is enough material to support my turning the motor this hard?

The compression is right where I would like to have a naturally aspirated motor, I run 92 all the time and don't want to go through the mixing octane fun again. It just seems like there is a lot more power left in the motor when I look at some of the milder 302 based 347 builds I've read about over the years.
