What kind of power will this setup produce???

New setup coming next month will be...

372c.i. 6.0L Iron block, Diamond Boost Pistons, Eagle Rods, all the goodies...setup for 12psi....on pump gas..

Will dyno on Hoosier QTP's, through the TH400 & 12-bolt....

What kind of #'s can I expect from this setup?

I've never really discussed #'s or possible E.T.'s.....

The car will gain an extra 85lbs from the iron, but it has no rear seats, belts, spare/jack, A/C, slicks/skinnies and thats it.....and I weigh 210...probably around a 3500 or 3450 race weight if I'm lucky...

I thought it would be heavier, Mine weighs 3520 without me in it.
but i havent done any weight reduction, but have the aluminum block.

Id guess you'd be around 600rwhp

I predict 10.8-11.00 at 125-128mph.You didnt say anything about a cage.I had a nearly identical setup with a cage and weighed (me 225)3840lb race ready.I think your guesstimated race weight will be 150-200 more than you think.Of all the cars on this site yours is damn near the same as mine was.I hope that new pulley setup works for you.

My guesstimates...

With 600rwhp you'll be in the high 12x to 13x mph
With 600rwtq you'll be in the mid to low 10s

Re: What kind of power will this setup produce???

If my raceweight indeed does come out to be lower than what I'm expecting it will probably be time for some more extensive weight reduction...

But this car will be driven on the street everyday its nice out...
