Big horsepower 318 builds

Anyone who uses the dyno with dyno headers, ignition, carb and all that is wasting their time and money. If you are running a mechanical fuel pump you should be using that too, along with the alternator and water pump too.

With the heads available (the W2 has been around for decades and those heads will EASILY make 500 HP on a 318 or anything else) like the TF stuff that 500 HP is like oatmeal. It’s easy to do.

Never said it’s impossible. I said it never happens and the owners always bullshit their way through not running numbers an actual street car type 500hp 318 should run. Any claims to it need a weight and a mph or it’s a load of ****. Just that simple.
Like Mr Porter said- either guys don’t have the cash or won’t spend it on a teen build. Those with the means build from a better core.
