I got 355 at the flywheel from my 5.9 with the Bristol HO engine upgrade (top end is all changed for other bits). It is running with a carter thermoquad as it didn't like the Edlebrock squarebore carbs. This was checked on a rolling road a couple of months ago. It is quite an experience standing by your car running at full bore. The fuel economy is slightly better than the standard engine if pottering along.

The Series 6 engine with the 600 BHP rumored output is bored out to 6.7 with forged pistons, high compression, alloy heads, multipoint fuel injection and the same camshaft as in mine. I don't know about the numbers but it goes and then some.
