572 or 541? I'm inclined to stick w/AndyF's approval, but...

Exactly and you don't need the oiling lines or the expensive Jesel rockers, would've been better for us as well but it was originally built as a 605ci motor so thats why the heads I guess.

I went with a 4.150 crank and 4.503 bore on my 528" Hemi only because I was having difficulty finding a 4.500 crank and got a great deal on the 4.150. I am more than happy with the end results.

Trick Flow 270s show about the same flow at that lift. Those and the rocker arms are likely the next step on the list.

Yep [email protected] on a 4.350 bore, so a 4.500 bore will flow somewhat more with a 2"+? pipe.

2"+? pipe....
@440rb I'm only guessing that you are referring to header diameter??
I'm already going to have to replace my 1 year old, maybe 1,000 mile used (unfortunately with ZERO track use) 6 bolt billet steel flywheel I bought from Brewer's. The Molnar crank is an 8 bolt, and I'm not going to fight over that. It's probably as well, but I am hoping the 8 bolt will be "one and done" or if I have to replace it eventually it will be from many happy track miles 1320 feet at a time...
Anyway, I digress. I have TTi ceramic coated, polished headers now, but I'm afraid at 1⅞" they are probably not appropriate for the 572. I guess I'll be making use of the "For Sale" forum when the time comes, including my prized Weiand P3690982 6bbl Cross-Flow intake.

Well they used a 2" pipe on their head machine when testing the 270, but yes 1.7/8" hdr would be somewhat restrictive for such a large motor. On our RR the hdr (4" collector) is adequate but he only runs a 2.5" exhaust through to the rear cos thats what he had when a 440 and thats how its run@the track, I worked out from our weight/mph is only around 20>25hp loss according to the dyno numbers but he is chasing 10ths NA your not? and you'll have N20 which is going to be interesting with the stick. I reckon you could get away with a 2">2.1/8" step hdr which actually is what we have I think?..not sure, I was told but can't remember.

Oh, now I understand, you were referring to the flow bench so to speak.
I have electronic cutouts, and a 3" exhaust system, so with my current 440 6bbl, I don't notice much difference in performance, but open headers sound great. No, not chasing 1/10ths. I will see about the header change when the time comes. Nitrous may never happen, but I'd imagine if I do it will be only under certain conditions, not the whole 1320.

A few days late, but thanks.
I sent the check off for my rotating assembly as my birthday present to me...

I don't see it because I'm on my phone 99% of my forum time. I'll have some abbreviations and editing to do for sure
EDIT: Thanks Budnicks, I actually read it and saw I needed to add my McLeod RXT dual disc clutch!
