315rwhp/325tq
The head work will help quite a bit over the stock heads.

Well Monday night is the official date so we shall see. I was hoping to hit test/tune this weekend but I guess I gotta wait. I'll be happy with 310-320ish all motor. The final plan is to hit it with a 150 wet shot with race fuel as the enrichment so I don't have to take out too much timing. I'm thinking it will be a lovely little SS killer on the juice.

Yeah man I'm in NC and this was honestly the coldest week yet at 19. Headed back home to FL next month where it's always racing season. Winter down there just means the car runs better.

Its my second go around dropping a motor in one of these cars, however with an automatic, and long tubes I'm not too sure about the best way to drop it in.



Let us know what it makes! Videos are always awesome!

Well it looks like purpleicedGT is the winner I came in at 280/290 at the wheels. Had to de-tune the car on 93 because of the compression so there is a lot of power left on the table. Race gas? Race gas.

You need to go to a different tuner, theres no way you need more than 93 octange for 11:1 compression NA, those numbers are WAY low.

I am with UBERSTANG1 on this one!!!
You should definitely go to a different tuner. Those numbers are too low for your set-up(unless it was on a Mustang Dyno).

However, as I often say, don't hang all of your assessment of the dyno numbers. Trap speed at the 1/4 is a far better measure of true power being made. Take it to the track and see what it runs now.

Are you anywhere near Raleigh, NC?
I can recommend a good tuner in N. Raleigh if you need a re-tune.

Stay away from the guys a little south of Raleigh...

Yeah, people make those numbers with just bolt ons and cams! Need to go to another tuner.
