~450hp from stock stroke 340?

Gonna be tough to make 450 hp n/a without more compression ratio. I have an about 450 hp 340+.030, but I wouldn't call it streetable. Never dynoed, but the various calculators put it at somewhere between 430-465 hp. 12.2:1 forged pistons, .585/275°@.050 solid cam, 1.5 rockers, decently ported T/A heads w/ port matched single plane intake, highly modified 750 Holley DP carb, 1-7/8" headers, side kickout Moroso pan and crank scraper. Ran 11.0's at 120 in a '70 'Cuda. I built this in the 'early '80s, so better technology may make a bit more power, but CR is king.


If that’s the case then that’s about where I’ll end up. Not 500. My build is pretty close to that.

BTW, do you remember the car weight and the elevation you ran at?
