Default Whats The HP Record For a 4.8l & 5.3l?

Just curious what the HP record is for the 4.8l & the 5.3l. I just got 520rwhp out of the 4.8l with a unlocked 3000 stall TCI verter & 3.42 gears. The sad thing is 15psi & 20psi really didnt make but 20rwhp more. The 20psi pull the truck was cutting out & actually even turned on a ses for misfires during the pull!!

Not real sure. I think parish8 made near 500 on his 4.8.

That guy rpm24 must have beem making good numbers in his procharged 5.3 with nitrous. His excab was running high 11s.

Crazycuter4.8 just hit high 400's on his with an ungodly N2O wet/dry combo. Melted the TR6 plugs even!

parish made 494 i believe in a 4wd turning the heavy internally 2500hd transfercase with 265/75R16's and a power sucking 4L80E on a mustang dyno. i can certainly see that being topped in a similar situation on a dynojet or simply having a 4L60E.

A 5 psi jump should definitly see more than a 20 rwhp gain. Any ideas on why its misfiring?
