Ive got a 347 Stroker. Here is a parts list

347
AFR 185 Heads
SUPER Victor Intake
Proform 750 Double Pump MS carb
Hooker 1 5/8 Long Tubes
SRP Forged Pistons
Lunati Roller Cam (around a .560 lift)
Scat Crank
Crane Roller Rockers
CSR Electric Water Pump

Then this engine will be in an 85 lx hatch with
UPR Front Suspension (Kmember, QA1 struts, drag springs, Tube A-Arms)
Tuff-Line Comp C4 Trans
3500 Stall
Aluminum Driveshaft
8.8 Rear with 4.30 gears
10.5 inch tires on ProStars
8point Roll Cage
Kirkey Seats
Full Interior.

FIRST QUESTION: How much HP do you think the 347 will make N/A? With 150 shot of gas?
SECOND QUESTION: What E.T do you think i can expect from this combination?

Thanks!

around 350 rwhp maybe a little more and that sounds like my old cam.

u should be in the low 12's on motor deep 11's on the spray

yeah id go somewhere round 375 RWHP or so, b/c your carb will be dumping the fuel into that thing, the carbed cars usually make more power N/A than out EFIs with the 150 shot somewhere round 450 or so maybe, should be in the 11's

375 rwhp is about right w/ the n/a but with the 150 shot u should be a little over 500 wheel. which will then be pushin the block limits. so think about that if its a stock block

Do you tell people... "I'M NICK THAMES B1TCH!!"?

nick_thames

actually i do. I thought about getting a shirt that said that!

Well the plan for now is to build a reliable 347 for track duty only. Win some races and some $$$ and then put the winnings towards a 427 Stroker with gas. Aftermarket block, forged internals. By doing that, you wont have to change much suspension. Plus with just starting out drag racing, a 347 with some juice aught to be enough to learn on until i step up to something else.

How about one of those valley girdles that goes under the intake. will that help with the flex of the block?
