5.3L's can make some good hp, its the torque thats hard to get. I would like to see the dyno graphs, to see how much lowend loss there is with that big of a cam.
Did they have any accessories being driven by the crank, or did they have an elec water pump on it.

Torque comes with displacement.....at only 325 cid it's hard to make decent torque.
Just look at the numbers that the Ford 4.6 Mod motors are putting down.....500hp and 340ft-lbs......great horsepower numbers but the torque sucks

I saw that article too, I think they made like 78 hp with the milder cam and the headers, now that impresses me.

actually torque and rpm is hp
Torque * RPM
Horsepower = ------------

If you look at ANY dyno graph the place where HP and TQ meet is at 5252rpms....which is why you will NEVER see a diesel dyno graph with crossing lines
