349 CI on the cheap
I want you to know I believe this is a very good thread.....But I have some issues with it...You are claiming to get over 600 hp on a flat tappet cam...(maybe a roller. not a flat tappet)....Because this would have to be tire horsepower to do what you are claiming...This would be 1.71 hp per cu. in...I do not believe this can be done with the combination you are describing...If it dyno HP, then you would only aprox. make 480 hp to the tire, which is not a 9.90 it would be a 10.10 if e.t. and mph was on top of each other...This is possible, but I don't think on a small flat tappet...We have tried alcohol injection, hats, and alcohol carbs...Never got a full second out of a fast car...Maybe a slower car...Kinda like 100 hp of nitrous on a 13.00 car..could p/u to 11.80 - 12.00's....But put the same 100 hp on a 9.90 car this will only make approx. 9.40 - 9.50... The computer always says an 1 5/8 header will work better on a stock type head...I have tried it, it's not true..Maybe a chebby, but not a mopar...A mopar has to breathe...The 360 head will not flow enough...Might look into some edelbrocks...I hope it works for you...I will play with it my computer program and see what it says...It is always pretty accurate...I am planning on building one of these also, just with a little different combination....I'm just hoping mine starts when I am done with it ...LOL... I hope in no way you think I am being detremental or mean anything bad with what I have said...I am 39 yrs. old and have been around drag racing all my life and I just don't think this will happen with the combination you have described....Lee
