With the right parts behind that engine,that thing
should run low 12's or better. Would be a fun ride with an auto trans and 3.31
or 3.55 cogs.

Hope so. That was really the goal. It probably won't
see rpm over 5500 very often. I went for mid-rpm range torque for
cruising/street driving. I ended up with a really flat torque curve.
It dyno'd over 500 ftlbs. from 2900-4500 rpm with the peak of 520 at 3400
rpm. Should be fun for around town cruising and scaring passengers.

A 460hp
peak at 5,500 rpm will make for a very strong street motor with great

- Very cool. My engine guy only ran mine up to 5500 rpm on the dyno
and that's where it hit peak hp (460). It should hopefully redline
higher than that and pick up some extra ponies. I'm curious to maybe
put the car on a chassis dyno later and see what the rwhp is. I know I
sacrificed some top end though by using a 750 cfm carb, but the goal was to
keep it streetable. Not sure if I accomplished that, but we'll
see.

- Thanks Matt.
- Here's the video to one of the actual runs.
The guy had it set to accelerate 300RPM every second, and he shut down at
around 6500. The red LED tach you see is lagging behind, and the guy is
actually going by an analog meter.

- Nice Larry! The video is awesome. Wish I had done that
at my dyno run.

- I hope to get better numbers after it's in
the car and we can work with the carburetor some. The guy running the
dyno took my carb off and put a custom job that was on the shelf on my
engine and picked up 17 more horses without any tweaking (469hp). I
just can't afford custom stuff like that though.

- BTW, I forgot to mention I'm running L78
heads. Although I did get the heads rebuilt, I did not have any
porting or polishing done.
