just seeing whos out there, engine size doesn't matter, as long as its TBI

 

im running a 454 BB with three holley 4bbl TBI;s

i make 400hp!
























j/k

 

I'm not sure exactly how much, but im guessing around 325 or better at the wheels...gonna get it dynoed soon...

 

jbqualls,

Where in WA are you?

And what are your mods?

 

I am in silverdale, wa. I am a Marine stationed a Bangor. What havent I done? Uhhh...335 Stroker, Larger TBI and injectors from Turbo city, Comp cam, 10.0 to 1 comp ratio., World products S/R torquer heads, list goes on and on...I dont think I left anything stock as I went on a crazy binge to prove everyone wrong who said i couldn't do it with a 305 TBI. Check out my page at Cardomain. The only thing I havent done is get the comp reprogrammed and dyno tuned, but I have a guy who is going to do all this for me so I can call it a "balanced and blueprinted engine"...and I'll have numbers I crushed an 02 Supercharged Harley F150 and I beat a 98 LS1 Camaro. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/677112

 

Another Marine here making over 300HP. Probably close to 330 and over 400 lb/ft. Not dynoed yet as the car really isn't broken in very much, and she's been at the paint shop for over a week now. I still have some 1.6RR's to go on as well, so maybe another 10-15HP on top of what I have now.

These #'s of course are based on people who have a similiar motor to mine. Hard numbers will come when she's broken in now. My biggest problem is crap tires not getting any traction.

I'll most likely solve the problem with either BFG KDWS or Pirelli P Zero Nero's.

Pics soon. I'll hold you to that, marine.

Hoo-ah!

 

I'm guessing I'm making right at 300 at the crank, I've run a 13.9 @ 98 mph, thats with a 3800 lb car, (just think of it as a really heavy thirdgen).

350
comp 268 4x4 cam
stock crapy heads
full exhaust
rpm intake
454 tbi 70 lb injectors turned up to 22 psi
lots of tuning
gets 22 mpg

 

maybe

 

Im pushing 410HP, running a ZZ4 crate, BB TBI, SLP headers, Flowmaster Cat back, and a K&N.

 

What bump stick is in that zz4 and which heads are you using? What BBC injectors at what fuel pressure?

 

Hooah= army


Oorah= Marines





Im making over 300 hp with both but I dont count

I've got a 350 HO goodwrench engine rated at 296hp, and then have p/p intake, ultimate t/b mods, serpentine belt conversion, 350 injectors, rapid fire plugs, custom prom burning, msd wires and control box, msd coil. Im thinking about 315-320 hp? I know I am over 300hp though.

Had a monster 305 before this that was pushing 285HP, ran a 13.7 1/4 with timeslips to prove it. It had almost every bolt on, then it got supercharged, ran a 14.6 on a fryed clutch ( wonder why?!!) and never got it back on the track. All that is gone now, im starting over!

 

You should be making more than 300 HP @ the crank with that cam, even with the crap heads. I've seen 350's with less cam and standard heads making 300 easy.

 

Last time I checked on dyno 2 years, it was 275rwhp and 347rwtq. Using stock short block 350, Corvette Xfire. CompCams Roller Cam/ TFS heads/TPIS headers. With 3.07 rear, 4+3 trans and street tires it ran a best of 13.65 at 101.

 

What would the specs be of that cam that you used?

 

Gunny,

This was an off-the-shelf CompCams Extreme Marine cam. The specs are 264/270 @.006, .488/.495 using 1.5 rockers and 112LCA. Very nice cam for the street especially since the torque is RIGHT THERE. It peaks off somewhere around 4700rpm. I've since installed a single pattern cam to take greater advantage of the I/E flow ratio on the heads.

 

You said you had the 23* TF heads? What's that dur at 05? And that's some big lift, I would think you would be making a little more power than that. I mean your tq seems right, but the HP seems to be around 350 at the crank . . a little low I would think given the cam specs.

Are running an auto or manual?

I'm just curious because I also have the 23* TF heads as well.

 

Your probably right gunney, I haven't gotten it back to the track since I got the TBI system all worked out and the injectors out of the static range. It deffinetly feels much stronger in the midrange. I'm also only running 3.25 gears so I'm sure thats hurting me. I know Lt1's aren't a problem so it's making more than that.

Gunny,

I was actually using 1.6 rockers for a 520/528 lift. The duration is 212/218 @ .050. My new cam is a 528/528 with 1.6's and 218/218 @ .050. I believe part of the problem with making power was that I was running lean at WOT. I found out with my new cam that I needed to pump up FP. I'm also using a Xfire manifold (albeit modded) which may explain part of the power dropoff. The trans was a 4+3, but I upgraded to a ZF-6 this past winter. One reason I decided to go with a new cam was to increase overlap. I found that my static compression was over 200psi with the previous cam probably generating some pumping losses in the higher rpm ranges.

 

Yeah, with lift like that you should be up around 425 HP or so.

 

Hi Dom! 224/230 @ .05 is in car CC 268 XE 114 LSA. holley projection intake installed with 454 TB sitting on top. only have 1/8 inch clearance to hood with drop AC. trying to sort out the wiring this week to TPS/IAC. should have car running later this week. if i can get the PE in line with WB02 will run on dyno if weather behaves.

 

Ok, you all seem to know alot about how much HP you get from what so here is a question for you all. I got a 350 (stock cam) with TPI 350 heads, intake (going on this weekend I hope) Intake should have 2" bores, open air element, cat back exhaust, 55lbs injectors and thats it. Any guesses to what I should have?

 

Ron,

What are you running for FP? And are you using the VAFPR portion of the Aeromotive?

 

i had 12 lbs per gauge on cold engine idling. i will move to 14 when i get car running. 80 lb injectors(i was mistaken when i thought i had 90). 12.5/1- 12.90/1 on WB in PE. i will command 12.0/1 and start all over with tuning. whole different ballgame.

 

no i am not going to use the vacuum assist. dont see a reason to at this point. if i had a larger CID that would be a possibility. with old cam i had plenty fueling. i may sneak up on PE till i feel comfortable that the injectors can fuel it. do you think i will need the most fuel at peak TQ(rpm) at max load(3rd gear of 5) ?? actually with old setup i just ran some Q mile blasts. never tested top end for fear of police. car is real loud when on the gas.

 

Just hooked up my ZT-2 WB this weekend. On recent scans, I can see that the PW is going static on my 80# injectors. What I don't know is whether that equates to 14:1 or 10:1 AFR.

 

What's a "stock cam?"

 

You know, a stock cam. One they throw in a 350 from autozone. Not like they put in really good cams from there. I dont know if a camaro cam is in there or not. I have no idea of what is in it. All I know is it is a 350 that fit my 89 camaro perfectly as far as bolt patterns and such and that it is a 4 bolt main.

Edit: Am I using the right size injectors or should I go bigger?

 

HP calculator by mph is around 350.

HP calculator by ET is around 375.
