my new setup.....have some ?'s
my new setup.....have some ?'s
The car is still months away from being done, motor is complete however, and I am just a little curious as to power / times I should get out of it. I have used one of those computer engine dyno's and I am not to sure how accurate they are, so I'll tell you what I have and maybe you can throw some constructive feedback my way.
Sbc 350 4 bolt bored .040 over, Forged rotating assembly, Block machine work included, line bore, decked to zero, lifter hone, cam line hone, rotating assembly balanced, and they honed out where the wrist pin goes thru the rod. 10.8:1 compression, on pump gas.
Heads a aluminum patriot 23 degree angled plug heads, ported out, and gasket matched. 2.02 / 1.60 valves, flowing 262 cfm @ .550 lift
Lunati Voodoo Camshaft .504 IN .525 EX on 1.5 roller rockers, I am using 1.6 Roller rockers so .534 IN and .555 Ex. It is a hydraulic flat tappet with duration of 233 In and 241 Ex @.050. LSA 110.
The cam is gear driven set 4 degrees advanced, the intake is a wieland G-team single plane that is also ported, and gasket matched. The carb is a 750 cfm Quick Fuel.
Nos plate kit, will be spraying 250 shot, Hooker super comp long tubes 1 3/4 primaries, 3 inch out, most likely running open headers.
The car is pretty stripped but with the cage im sure that its back to being stock weight, 700 r4 trans with forged internals, 3500 edge stall converter, 12 bolt rear 4.11 on a spool with 33 spline moser axles, on a 28 tall 10.5 et street. Jegster torque arm, spohns control arms and comp engineering drag shocks, SFC.
Think thats about it, if I forgot something let me know, I have a whole car in boxes somewhere. Engine dyno 2000 crunched the numbers and it was around 750 hp and 820 fpt at the flywheel. just seeing if you guys think that is even close.

Re: my new setup.....have some ?'s
I would say your probably around 450-500 hp at the flywheel without nitrous of course. Similar build to mine and with my research I should be around 500ish on motor. I also have Afr heads and I dont know to much about the patriot heads but decent flow numbers you posted. I would still think around 450 hp tho. Just a guess I could be wrong. Hopefully im wrong in your benfit too lol
Re: my new setup.....have some ?'s
ya it would be nice, but you know how it goes, cars end up with alot of money and time in them, and you never really know how it will all turn out in the end. i ran one of those computer dynos but who knows how accurate they are, so i thought that i would feel around alittle bit. im trying to crack a mid 10. some think it will run a low 11 some think i got a shot at a high 9. doubt the later but who knows. after the time and money spent so far im getting a little trigger happy i suppose, but after not driving it, or even having it run it over two years, i guess it is to be expected. and besides a little guestimation never hurt anybody.
i have close to 20k invested in the car, so if i dont atleast see a high 10, im gonna be a tad bit dissapointed
