Just was at the shop, that thing sounds like a real effing race car! 572 SAE is friggin BAD A$$!!
I'll probably stop at E85. It's cheap and there is a station about 20 miles from me. On the way to VIR. lol
I do appreciate the feedback. And all the people chiming in over this long haul. I will certainly give back to the community with all the info I can on this build including the motor build from Livernois, specs, and everything else in the equation. If you go with a Livernois motor and Revolution Auto labor and tune, it's a slam dunk boys. Don't mess around with those west coast hobby shops. Stick with professionals.
Rev Auto put up with my last minute nagging and paranoia so I can't thank them enough. The deadline for this weekend is critical and they came through again.

I don't blame you. Any chance we get to see dyno sheets? Possibly overlays with the numbers before the rebuild?
Well I doubt I will be topping those numbers. Congrats Darren, with those cams thumping that thing has got to be beyond badass! I think you are going to really be giving some high dollar cars some fits on the track! This is awesome man!!! If the power curve is anything like before this is going to be a hell of a car to contend with power wise, loads of power everywhere.
Here's one graph. Plenty good.
My stubborn goal with this build was to show that a little ol 302 coyote/road runner motor (with straight up air) can compete with 700+hp FI cars and exotics on the track. Full on wheel to wheel. So now I think the car is ready and the real story can begin...

Wow, I just read pretty much the entire thread. Great stuff man, sorry to hear about the problems going on earlier. Seems like you went the "full retard" route. No shortcuts, and looks like it paid off very nicely.
570whp out of a little na roadrunner is damn impressive. I would love to see that thing with some FTW fuel and crack 600, or close to it.
Build was put together very intelligently, saving weighy in the rotating assembly, and here and there absolutely paid off.
congrats man! Get some videos please!

There's a video of the pull on Revolution Automotive's Facebook page. So head over there and like them for more updates and video goodness.
Can anyone link it here for those of us that are off the grid? Please and thank you.
572 is pretty close to 13-14 GT500 stock numbers. You're probably making 660+ to the flywheel!

So any word on the MMR springs being tested?
I would assume so seeing as how Rev Auto quoted MMR for future reference.
Well spill the beans!
I assume this write up is on Darren's engine:

Close but no cigar.
The engine in the article has a full dry sump oiling system and a little different valve train combination.
We are building lots of Coyote engines for several customers at any given time.
We have had several builds lately that we are building the engine for any given combo in which the customer is on or have failed their second engines from competitors.
Do yourselves a favor and call us first so you can enjoy driving your car vs having it down and waiting.
We spend the same level of care and service for customers building our basic Street Series engines as we do on high end one off builds.
Darren, how are you liking this motor since you've been able to drive it now??
