Default 370 ci max hp N/A

I am looking into building a 370 ci race motor for circle track racing. The only rules are iron block 370 ci max. Would it be realistic to be able to make 600hp+ ?

You can make 600 crank HP with a 370, especially with a Super Victor, high flowing heads, and a big cam.

How much rpm are you willing to turn? How broad a powerband do you need?

This 1/4 mile dirt oval or half mile asphalt?

shouldnt be very difficult. ive got a 370 with stock ls3 heads and a big cam making around 500 rwhp thru an auto. Figure manual transmission, better heads and potentially a solid roller cam instead of hydrualic. 600 easy

I'm running a 370ci iron block with PRC 5.3 heads, big cam, LS6 intake, and i'm not really sure what it will lay down on a dynojet. 450-475 rwhp would be my guess. This is a real budget setup, so a better HCI combo, over 500 rwhp should be quite easy

Max out the bore and destroke it. The engine wont have to work as hard and will make more top end power.
