I think I posted this on here a while back and no one thought it could have that much power. I know another person with the same motor I have but it has1.6 RRs,performer intake and a edelbrock carb and he threw down 304 rear wheel horsepower. Here is the article:</P>

Here is the hole thing when they tested it with 2 4's. Say my combo made 370 horsepower at the flywheel like this one did, subtract the 15% drivtrain power loss andthat would be around 315 horsepower at the wheels. That does not seem so far off too me at all.</P>

do you have a point here?

I'm sorry I forgot to ask any type of question lol...</P>


I just wanted to know if you all think that this is possible or not. Westech uses some really nicedynos and i'm just trying to figure out what kind of power I am really makin, thats all. I have been driving it but nothing over 4 grand. Even before that it feels like a monster and its not even in its powerband.</P>

stock compression, decent heads, bcam with 1.7 rockers, rpm air gap intake, demon 625, super comp headers (1 3/4" primaries right?)

I think it's entirely possible. Put some miles on the thing and go get it dyno'd (heck, perhaps spring the extra $ and get the A/F dialed in on the dyno while you're at it)

Well heres how i look at those articles and most that i know look at them "THEY ARE THERE TO MOVE PARTS" its kind of like favortism if you ask me.They tend to favor the parts suppliers that endorse them.</P>


Im up in the air about it though.Do a search on the net and you will see many discussions over this and theres alot of good ideas and reasoning.As much as id like to belive it i dont think its possible but i have been wrong before.</P>

on the other hand, car craft got 325ish hp with afr165 heads, carb intake, headers, 1.7 rockers, but stock cam.

Wonder how much of a difference the B cam would make over stock cam in direct comparison.

Ya its just that my pal has almost the same set up and it had 304 rear wheel if I can remember right. I know it was 3 sumthin. But ya i'll never know till its dynod and that aint happening for many more months. Its got brand new tires all around and it never reached 4 gs and it started to break the tires loose at about 20 mph in 2nd. I'mthinkin no matter what itdoes makeit should be pretty fast lol The car only weighs 2700 pounds

horatio102

what kind of tires?

there as about 5-10 different dynos out the maybe 2 out of ten will have the same hp rating...I like those chassis dynos
