    Feel like my 440 should be faster

    When I bought my Duster it had a stock 440 with 8.5-1 compression,Edelbrock performer intake and Edelbrock 750 carb. Comp XE 274 cam and Schumacher tri y headers. Underwhelming to say the least. Stock 452 heads would be the single biggest detriment to power IMO.

    @ 5400 ft compression may be a factor, if it is only 9.38

    Soĺ Cal fires

    For those who have never set foot in SoCal they will never understand. As a Surveyor you go where you have to go and will find a way. I've cut brush, trees etc. live or dead with machetes, brush hooks or if vegetation is dead ( likely ) stomp and move on. Clients ***** about cost developing...

    Soĺ Cal fires

    I apologize for playing part in that but I clearly tried to chalk this up as miscommunication. We truly were making the same points about these types of fires but in his usual form ol’ 72 wants to argue somebody down. Whether it’s torsion bars or Santa Ana winds. I’m just not going to take his...

    That’s about what I was expecting. But that is not the case. It’s quick don’t get me wrong but not anywhere near the back seat.

    Let's just say a tuned smog 440 with a set of headers should put you in the back seat of an A-Body when you let the hammer down.

    I’ve calculated it so many times I don’t see how I could be off. But it wouldn’t surprise me! Thanks!

    ****, that really is tough on your emotions, I'm really disappointed to read this. I hope your son is able to handle his own emotions and not react out of frustration or anger.

    A 2500 is whats recommended by Howard’s for this cam. Not sure on flow but they’re 452 stock heads no porting done. I will have to look into calculating the exhaust thank you.

    Feel like my 440 should be faster

    Do not know the piston/cylinder wall clearance but I want to say my ring gap was .020-.023ish. It was on the wide end of the spec I remember that. 3.23 came with the car, I would like to get into some 3.73 or 3.91 27.05 rear tire height Not sure on weight So far I’ve taken it up to about 5500...

    Thoughts on early vs. late Slants.

    Getting good lobes from Comp is easy, You just have to know what to ask for, they can grind one that has .903 specific ramps that require valve springs You could pull the ole' Valli up on w/o coil binding them....the question still remains, what will happen to the pump gear....?....

    Same. I thought it was because I was just retarded and had to re-read it twice. Fortunately, I realized I am just tired, not 'tarded.

    Read the list twice and didn't see what heads. I'd run a double pumper. Is this "feeling" off the seat of your pants test drive? No way for us to know if it's in the ballpark or not without knowing something about how you determine slow.

    Thoughts on early vs. late Slants.

    They are more than strong enough for most builds, & the huge crank is lighter in cast than forged, and cast cranks are more rigid(less flex from a long crank).

    my opinion I don't like the cam and rear end gear ratio mix. Put a set of 391s in the butt and release the beast.. it'll be a whole different ball game.

    Is a 2500 stall correct for your cam, gearing, tire size, and weight? Also, you may want to calculate the exhaust diameter needed for what you have. I calculated out 2.5" is best for scavenging for my 360 with my promaxx cnc 185 heads, Doug's headers and h pipe. What do your heads flow? I did...
