Holley Strip Dominator vs. Edelbrock Victor 340

BVoelzke said
Here’s the cam card for my 367, I don't remember the flow numbers but they are as I bought them over 25 years ago. This same motor made 549 hp / 450 tq when it was at 11.5 to 1 compression , a 590 lift cam and the same Victor W2 intake on race gas and went 10.40 in my Dart. When I first used the heads it was on a 340 with 12.5 to 1 compression , 627 lift roller cam, and a Strip Dominator it made 527 hp and I went 10.70s. So now with less compression and a mechanical cam in a 360 I m running the same with similar hp. on pump gas. When I was building my other motor ( 408 Stroker , R3 block ) I purchased another set of W2 heads for it but my engine builder talked me out of it and into using Indy 360-1 heads and I sold them I should not of listened to him as the Indy rocker gear has been troublesome and I cracked the Eagle stroker crank.

What’s the issue in the Indy rocker gear? I know Russ and I had several conversations where they only thing we did was cuss each other out and then hang up. We had some battles over the years. Especially about the crap intake manifolds he was shipping out for his -1 heads.

I questioned him about geometry on those 360-1 heads with the fixed saddles. He pretty much told me I was stupid and my mother should have coat hangered me before I was born. Of course, the conversation went downhill from there.

At that time I didn’t know about the B3 correction kit, or even if Mike was making it back then.
