I saw that episode just a little while ago, and that oil pressure loss would have me a bit concerned.
Was it just sucking up all the available oil?
Was the windage that bad in the pan?
Was it really just the bypass opening as the other guy said?
Never seen a bypass opening cause a sudden drop like that, and I would have to get to the bottom of that if it was my motor.
To attain 600hp, this motor needs bigger heads- more flow. A little more cam and compression wouldn't hurt. I question the choice of intake. Nick did the best he could with customer's combo which is a fine street motor. When chasing a HP number we should consult a pro and not just pick parts out of a catalogue.
I would expect 505hp out of a 426 small block with cleaned up factory heads.
my guess is the heads dont flow enough to support the cam by the way it drops off at 5800.
