Power Estimates
 

First Hello all, this is my first post here. I just finished my motor build a few weeks ago and it's running good! I'll have to wait a few weeks to get it to the dyno and track and see what I'll run.

Just to see what do you guys think, what kind of RWHP & torque do you think I'm realistically making? I'm hoping for low low 13s in the 1/4. I know it's not a real aggressive build but I did it on a super budget. Here's my car:


1991 notchback

MOTOR
.30 over 302
GT40P heads (59cc)
+3cc flat top hyper pistons (est 10.2:1 compression)
E303 cam
Typhoon upper/lower intake
BBK 75mm tbody
BBK CAI
headers/H pipe/ Flowmaster 50's
timing @ 14*

OTHER
Aluminum driveshaft
94 cobra R wheels
245's Front / 275's Back
SN95 Brakes/5 lug conv
3.55 gears (still I know)

I usually hate posts on "how much power will my motor make" but I'd like to see how close everyone gets.

215 rwhp

250rwhp/290rwtrq

225..

395hp

maybe break 200 to the wheels! if you expect low and get higher results you`ll feel good about it lol!

Wow... what a range of opinions.. (395hp, ha ha)

I was assuming with the higher CR that I would be at least over the 230 mark.

Take a look at these article, Seems like my setup is pretty similar

I read that story from the magizine.
IMHO, they are sort of inflating the HP numbers just a bit.
I've been told (and it seems true) that wheel HP will be 20% less than what the flywheel HP is.
320 flywheel is 320
-64 (32X20)
255 rear wheel HP

Seems sort of high for no more cam than that, not impossible but just sort of high....

i think it;ll be in the 230's
