I cruise around at 697/641 HP/Tq on pump gas. I have over 15k miles like this.

DD in the summer

I could probably push it higher, but I like the reliability.

I'd go ahead and enjoy what you have now. You hve this year and next year to turn it up.

The MFBA rental at US41 will be in October, maybe I'll see you there.

Hell yeah, thats the plan. October, when the airs cooler, ET's will fall!

I'm not looking to make more power, hell I wasn't looking to make this much anyway! It just happened. I just gotta get the car running cooler, new fan is on the way, hopefully it'll fix it and she'll get driven alot!

I'll have to check on the exact #'s. Don't really like pushing the small motor's that high since reliability goes out the window.If it's a race car it would be a different story.The 427ci already made 465hp/455tq NA at 8.5-1 compression/blower Combo. Trying to limit this to 750hp/700tq or so since it is a 100% daily driver (old combo was a 680rwhp 346)

Some day I would love to push the D1 to a limit.A nice 346ci with 11-1 compression,240 Cam should put out over 900rwhp with a small D1

Has anyone ever tried running an 11:1 comp 346 with high boost and a 240 duration cam???????? I thought that compression is way too high, but I guess the 240 cam would bleed off a lot of boost?
