350ci Flat top forged pistons
Bow tie Phase 3 heads 202/160 64cc chamber 184cc intake runner
Comp Cam XFI Camshaft Flat Tappet Hyd, Gross Lift 520in/515ex Dur 224* 231*@.50 w/1.6 rocker 113 lobe sep
Comp Mag roller rockers ratio1.6 comp lifters& pushrods
Lt1 intake conversion
Custom chip
Short Headers true duals no cats
Gut MAF
How do you guys think this combo will run?it is going in a 85 vette with 3.07 rear gear auto trans.Any guesses on idle quality,HP? Thanks again.

Re: Guess My Horsepower?
Its going in a 'Vette? BAH!!
Just kidding..
If I were to take a stab at it, you should be running
between 295-300HP at the wheels..maybe.
Its hard to define a build, we have no idea who
tuned it..but, going by instinct its looks solid.
Why flat tappet? I like them, use 'em all the
time. But, for your setup I would have done at
least Hydraulic roller. 'Cause it looks it could be
a high winder.
LSA on the cam is acceptable, 112-114 on
computer controlled stuff is the limit, so your
borderline..
Id say, 303HP/330ft. lbs TQ at the wheels
Best case scenario, of course ..

If I had to guess, 2. A guess is just what it is, a guess. If you've got the $ to build it, spend some more on a dyno and find out for sure! A dyno print out will be a selling point when you decide to sell it not to mention the bragging rights to your buddies!

Re: Guess My Horsepower?
Yea, its completely understandable to get
a rough estimation of the build's power potential.
I think idle/streetable wise, it'll be stunning.
Ive no prior experiences with a LT1 induction,
but it should make good numbers past 5000rpm.
Flat tappets are a cheap and effective way
to make power and getting your car on the road.
But, If you have roller provisions on the block,
Id suggest going with a nice Comp or Crane
hydraulic roller grind, I just saw you dont.
Stray away from synthetic blend oils &
be generous with the assembly lube if It
hasn't been built yet, Flat tappets like the
conventional stuff.
Good luck
