Re: Budget 350 build dyno results

i duilt it on a 2000 dollar budget. Most of the parts are either used or i got off ebay or hunted around for good deals. The heads and the pistons were the only new items and they cost me the most. its making about 9.8 compression and the cam has like a 110 lsa. ill show picutres of the completed engine in a couple of days.

Re: Budget 350 build dyno results

Not too bad...

Best thing is, there's a little left in it, judging by the A/F ratio column. Get that closer to 12.8:1 or so, you'll probably pick up a bit more.

What heads? What cam?

Re: Budget 350 build dyno results

Huh, Pro Comp aluminum heads, SRP forged pistons, and you call that a budget build? Damn. You must know a guy who knows a guy to get all that built for $2000. $2000 for just the heads and pistons sounds pretty accurate, but machine work, intake carb etc etc etc... You got a deal on that.
Speaking of.... induction on this? Exhaust?

Re: Budget 350 build dyno results

It'd be some flavor of carb and dyno headers.
