415HP from 318ci IS POSSABLE!!

Your correct maybe I should raise my rates, and I/we don't run 5.86 gears, the car that the engine is in is a 3,330 lbs street Duster full glass and steel doors, stock suspension as produced. Yes we stepped the gear up to a 4.86 but we also run 30" tall tires 10.5 wide, so a 4.10 and a 28" would work out the same. Oh and for hedders we have the 1 5/8" shortys with a 2 1/2" tubing through free flowing exh., I hope this equates to a street car.

I hope you dont mind double quotes...


We run 1/8 mile here and I have a 5200 PTC converter and a 5.43 gear with 29.9 X 10.5 tires. The little engine needs all the help that it can get.

So far, I count one 322, that made 500 pound feet, ran 96 in the eigth, on methanol, race fuel, and 87 octane, with gearing from 5.43 to 4.86 and a 5200 convertor. I count that as 2 street cars, and two race cars that run pump fuel :D
I'm just having fun with you now Bobby, I hope you dont mind. I still want to see a stock 89 piston anywhere close to the deck and a cam that will make 500 pound feet in a 322 that dont kiss hard.
