Now the truck will never pull anything i'll just drive it around and playing with it a little Ive decided on not making alot of power cuase i dont have alot of money I have a old torker intake along with a 650 holley carb I was thinkign maybe of a 327 350hp cam or a 350 350hp cam ones 447 lift (327) and the other is 450/460 lift (350) I'm guessing around 9.7 -10:1 compression with the heads I have a set of 186 heads 63.3 cc cambers that have been not fully ported but ported good on the exhuast there stock on the intakes 1.94 1.5 valves The 60-61 315hp pistons there domes but not much the truck has a th350 and a 4.11 rear end 50" or Advertised duration?.they reply.The one that sounds motor is going in a 65 chevy c10 pickup. Ive sold lots of cams, and Id say half the guys just came in and said.gimme a 292 cam. We all know those guys just fart around in those cars too, never race em, just fart em to the burger llect plastic trophies.then collect dust and listen to golden oldies.ĭavid Frieburger was onto somthing when he said we need motley crue, GnR, and gold moroso anodized valve covers at car shows.theyd get alot more attention. I dont even think Dreamweaver is running a cam that big.absurd. Just a week ago I was in the speed shop and I heard a guy who was about 58 Id guess, talking about his cam and how great it sound.way better than the last one sounded.I glimpsed at the cam card and the power band was set to start at 4500 rpms.REDICULOUS I hear guys ask for a cam at speed shops to make their car sound good. I wouldnt be suprise one bit if my motor only puts 200 hp to the ground.actually id be glad.Īctually as far as the big block cruise in cars.I fully believe that to. The smogger 454's from the 70's and 80's made somthing ludacris like 165hp and 385 lb ft.not worth the price or weight of a big block.Īlot of people bench race and estimate HP firgures by the seat of their pants without alot of real dyno experience. It was featured in an issue of sport compact a few years ago too.Īnd as far as the 440 goes.I believe it. I saw an 85 horizon with a turbo and 5 speed make a dyno pull of over 400HP. 1.60 exh.Ĭrane Energizer cam 274 H06 grind 274-274 450-450 liftĭual plane air gap intake w/625 StreetDemon carb Also told me my 625 Demon performed perfectly for my setup which is as follws:įlat top pistons with teflon skirts and valve reliefsĤ62 double hump heads w/ 1.92 int.
(FW) the fellow running the dyno said add 15% to get Flywheel numbers which would put me at 250 h.p. My Desktop Dyno 2000 said my engine should've produced 300 h.p. Needless to say the big man was quite dissappointed. They strapped that thing down every way to Sunday! Made 3 pulls and best was 342 h.p. Last (before I left) was a 72 Camaro Big Block with 6-71 Blower and 2 Predator carbs, the guy said he had just spent $8000 on the engine.
Next a 64 Chevy II rolled on and put down 356 h.p. with front wheel drive! It produced 236 h.p. So then I paid my money and let them strap the Vega on, 218 h.p.
at the wheels, 86 Turbo Dodge Colt made 200 rwhp, 71 Dodge Dart with a 318 made 115 rwhp. Local Advance parts store had a Dyno run in the parking lot Saturday.
