318 power!

Dan the man said
GTX JOHN said that his 318 has a compression ratio of 8.5:1. I used the Wallace Dynamic Compression Ratio Calculator, I put in all of the required information, I used a 72* ivc because he said that his cam has lots of duration so I checked out cams and the one's that had 300 plus degrees of duration had at least 72* ivc. After I entered all of the information the Calculator shows a Dynamic compression ratio of 6.37:1 which equals a cranking pressure of 108.24 psi. I'm not saying that his car doesn't run 10's. I'm asking how can an engine make the power it needs to move a 3400 pound car into the 10 second zone with a low dcr? Again, this is only a question, I'm not saying that he didn't run those times

It’s all in what you don’t understand and I’m not the best at it ether. However, when you start in with the math, the correct numbers have to be entered and not assumed. Fact check his cam card and what he did with it installed wise.

To much faith in calculators is a huge problem.
And then you all wonder why I give AJ a “So-called hard time.”

The thing is that Stock and Super Stock have a nominal compression ratio and they get a point over that. If his engine builder has his **** together then it’s a point over nominal.

So your math with 8.5:1 isn’t valid.

Stock, super stock, FAST, defying all calculations and the odds that they can run fast. So many fail to realize there are tricks to be done that actually work great and the average guys do not account for it. It’s not a regular and widely accept way to go fast.
It tends to freak people out and keep them confused and assuming.
