Engine Masters rules require 92 octane and power is measured from 3500-6500rpm. My BBC 477 did 766hp at the 2013 competition. At 7000 it does 810hp and at 7500, I hope it does 850hp.

I think getting 575rwhp, 625fwhp is doable with e85, more compression, and more rpm. It would not be easy but possible.

 

Make sure you get some videos if that ever makes it to the track!

I wish I had a c6z but I have to deal with having the ls7 in my fbody lol. Im getting the valvetrain setup now with the light weight valves and psi beehives so hopefully I see a good increase with that. Also trying the msd intake. I think my times will improve alot this year once I get it all back together.

Ive read some of your other threads, I have a 28x10.5 Hoosier stiffwall with 4.30 gears, I noticed you like the 26" tires. Recon they would do any good with my gearing in a fbody?

 

CID X RPM / 3456 = CFM

CFM * .069 = lb/min, at some temp K

Working backwards,

60lb/min / .069 = 869CFM~ needed

869CFM * 3456 / 350CID = 8,500 RPM with 100% VE

Answer to the thread: Yes, at 8,500rpm if you had 100% you should be around 600bhp which would put you around 550~rwhp to the tires.

I wouldn't do it though, because
A: street manners will be poor
B: Economy will be mediocre
C: OEM bearing clearances will not enjoy the ride (it will probably spin a rod bearing at some point) i.e. just because you see max PSI in oil pressure at the sender doesn't mean the bearings are all receiving their fare share.


Instead: Forced induction is your friend

 

Goodluck.
I'd start with some extra air in those tires.
I'd also have Mamo work over the manifold.
Cathedral or square port heads?

 

Most formulas don't include all the variables to make them accurate.
That's why we actually race.
I'm making well over 500w dynojet now cam only which tells me the formula is missing something and you didn't read the thread.

 

of course its missing something, its just for a general idea. Air temp, rolling resistance, compression, fuel quality, the list goes on.

Its still a handy little tool to figure out what an air pump is going to move, within reason, which helps size other parts, like a compressor for example. Also, why would I read the thread? The topic is clearly trolling the community for grey area answers. like mine There is no right or wrong answer, everybody knows you can make 600horsepower with a 350cid engine N/A its been done since like 1967, that isn't the proper question though. It should be something like "can you do it and get 30mpg and maintain daily driver manners" etc

if I am not mistaken, one must read the thread title to understand the thread content, as the title drives the content. Thus my response is correctly oriented against the thread topic without needing to read further.

 

Thanks ill keep you updated. Okay will do, these tires seem to work pretty good so far. Yeah thats who I got the msd from is him and a 102tb. It hasn't came in yet but looking forward to it.

Square ports, still using gm ls7 heads with tsp port program and a little extra hand work from the local machine shop

 

You missed the point because you didn't read the thread. No big deal. Your input is welcomed either way.

 

I see another .3 cam only without any necessary R&D.
If I had the motivation, I'd run it another 10 passes with the more optimal setup to see how low it would go then do heads.

For heads for this particular setup I'd consider:
1) LS3 small bore square port heads
2) MMS 220 cathedral heads
...along with a fast 102 manifold ported by Mamo.
I'd like to try and gain 50+ from the heads, ported 102, and nice bump in compression over my current setup.
My top priority would be to sell the car. The best of both worlds would be if someone wanted the car with heads so I would be obligated to dyno test and back it up on the drag strip for the new buyer. lol

 

How come you seem to be getting out of drag racing Rob? It's obvious you still think about it and have a talent for it.

 

Also...

Have ypu found any power or benefits with any certain harmonic balancers?

 

It's time for me to focus on the kids esp.since I spent so many years focused on my hobbies.

I use an ATI and have not tested any other.

 

Enjoyed reading the thread on CF about this. I wish Ed Curtis wasn't banned on her. When I was going to get the Mast heads for the cam he spec'ed for me, he said I could clear 500 easy with a few changes to my set up. Unfortunately my car didn't drive friendly for me. Specs of the cam were 244/248 .630 112.0. People told me with the added compression it would help with driveability.

 

I'll bump this to take some pressure off Hammer, lol.

 

Lol thanks.

I think the 575 is possible. Been talking a lot with hio to Darth V8r and we all think his setup can be pushed to 550+ with some choice mods. He's at 500 currently with a moderate cam and SBE LS1.

 

But we are just trying to please a dyno here. Not something fast or quick.

 

Good call....lol
Uuuuhhhhh No. Why would someone do that? The whole point woukd be to push the envelope.

 

This is a very good thread. I don't think you have much of an argument. If any. After seeing what could be accomplished with the best combo, if you want more, you can still step up to a solid roller cam.

 

exactly right!

 

They started the c6z up. Still a lot of tuning to do and all the little details need to be addressed. Hoping it gets to a track in a few weeks. Should be running @ < 70% of it's potential for the first several times to the track. Plan to walk it out and short shift @ 7500 for the first few passes.
That's where we started the pull on the engine dyno. lol
