Re: HP Estimate

1.1 - 1.2 HP/CI at the crank provided your compression ratio matches the cam.
Just a guess....

Re: HP Estimate

i didnt think a 305 bore would accept that size valve?

" milled up to valve seats" better check valve to piston clearance. sounds like a high compression build. i'm curious to see how much power it makes.

Re: HP Estimate

305 wont but with 030 over will, but valve lift is limited to 500

That 1.1 1.2 per ci is what i look for

best regards

Re: HP Estimate

It'll take some RPMs to get there. I would think that cam in a 305 would peak past 6000. Possibly 6500 provided the heads can support it. I don't have any direct experience with the LT1 head but if memory serves, the L31 Vortec is based off of the LT1 intake port. That counts for something.
