5liter, whats your H/C/I combo? Cause I made 434rwhp with 7psi, a 10.8:1 A/F and conservative timing. Stock pullies and a powerpipe. Do you have a 1 belt or a 2 belt Novi? Ran 11.77@117 leaving the line at ldle. I then stepped up to 10 psi(no dyno #'s) and went 11.28@123 leaving at 2000 rpms.
FWIW if you set up a conservative tune @ 7-8psi, with high quality parts and a stock shortblock with no issues, it will last a long, long time. I should have my head examined for even pulling mine out last year.
