300 HP out of a 318, is it possible with bolt ons?
He just refuses to acknowledge there's many ways to build a Eg. 14s car, some are gonna run stronger or weaker but at the end of the day a 14s car is a 14s car, and it's up to the OP's what compromises their willing to live with.
I'm sure if you took a stock 318 bumped up CR added a 2800-3000 stall, 4.30-4.88 out back with maybe a deeper 1st gear and a good tune the car would feel strong especially with 4bbl and headers but I don't know if it would be actually quicker in the quarter mile than a cammed 4bbl and headers 318 with stock stall and gears. Ones making the most of what a stock cam 318 has and the other making more power but using it inefficiently, which one is putting more average power to the ground? 0-60, 0-100, 1/8, 1/4, light to light etc.. whatever you do with your car.
