Power & 1/4 mile predictions

Gimme a basic idea on what I should expect with this. The 1/4 time is not going to be tested anytime soon, but the car will be dyno'ed once broke in.

350 TBI / 5.7 Cop car TBI and Computer
Engine was a L98, stock heads, no porting.
LT4 cam
Headman 1 5/8" headers
3" Flowmaster
K&N airfilter
3.42 Posi
265 series tires (8.5" wide wheel, 10" wide tire)

(For the 1/4 time's, I consider myself to be a little above avg driver.) *Waits for flames on that comment.*

For HP, please post RWHP.

Desktop dyno sez....

(At the flywheel.)

400ft-lb from 2k to 4k rpms. 408 @ 3000 peak
301hp at 4k, and drops off.

/20% =

240hp
320 ft-lbs

Roughly.

that sounds liek not a lot fo hp for the LT4 cam. are you runnign 1.5 or 1.6 rockers with it?
et is impossible to predict really. et is all about chassis prep and gearing. with good traction that kind of power at teh flywheel shoudl translate to mid 13's at around 100mph if you have average tractiopn adn gearing. quicker if you hook and gear it good.

later

You mean a 350 TBI motor, too? Not just the computer, right? Because if it's a 305 forget about it...a 350 will net you some decent times, I would think (with those modifications).

300hp at fly, and somewhere in the 14s range, maybe high 13s if you have stall (2600rpm range) and exhaust.
