I have a ebelbrock rpm manifold, TFSstage1 cam, 1.6 rockers, TW heads, 331 stroker pro bullet shortblock from DSS. 3:73 Gears. What should i rev it to? What kind of power do you think its makin?

 

i think with that setup ur makin about 330 wheel at most, ur cam wont go past 6000 so if i were u i would get rid of it, since u got the trick flow heads i would like i said upgrade to the stage 2 and u can rev happily to 6500 with the right valve train. thats a good intake so u dont need to change taht and that would be all u need, u would be in the 11's with good suspension mods.

 

Damn i was hoppin it would make like 350. I also have a 150 shot on it but i never used it on this motor yet. Oh its an Rpm Air gap manifold. So change the cam to a stage two, and what valve spring kitwould you recomend? Then you think it could rev to 6500? I wanted to rev higher cuz with the 3:73 gears i shift into 5th gear in the 1/4 which sucks. so if i could rev to 6500 then i could finish in fourth.

 

well i belive that trick flow sells some springs that may be what ur lookin for. u need at least125 lb springs to run with that cam, i cant find any right now but thats b/c i m tired, if u look a little or email trick flow they will be able to tell you exactly what springs to get. u might be at 350 i was just guessin, 330 is a rough guesstimate so

good luck

 

Alright thanks.

 

what kind of rockers do you have. I think stud mount rockers with good springs handle more rpm's better than Pedestal mount rockers. might want to look into those.

p.s. i this fable fifty from bay area racing.org? sounds like his setup

 

yes its me. I have stud mount TFS 1.6's

 

like they said you should just upgrade the springs and you shoud be fine..why go dss? should of just built a strong dart block motor. and your car would look sick with a nice roll bar.

 

got it for free. my dad was gonna buy a new motor for my bro's car and then sell it. so I made a deal with him to buy a shortblock and ill give him my motor. so he did. saved him money and helped me out. so a free 331.. i wouldnt pass thet offer up.

 

IM getting a cage soon when i get the extra money. A six point.
