final numbers-652hp 606ft lbs.

I have to admit,this was def more than i thought we would get considering the smallish size of the cam(high 230's intake,mid 240's exhaust) and the small intake and tb-90mm.I'm always impressed with how well the TFS 235's work.I think there is another 15 hp or more to be had with a ported FAST 102 and big TB,hopefully we will be able to find out when Joe recovers from this build..

Awesome Shawn. I'm excited. Looks very close to Kevin's when you compare it across the curve. Already making me want the bigger intake but I gotta wait a bit. Curious how much it will make on the chassis dyno. Previous best with the 416 was 504/491. Makes me wish I had you dyno the 416 last time so I would have something to compare too! I'm figuring I'll have a 17% loss.

I was gonna ask but didn't want to bother you. How much smaller is his cam? Seems like the L92s are just as good as the Trickflows.

So it will ship out tomorrow? I can square up today if needed or first thing in the morning. Ready to get the heart back into my goat!

What's your guess on what you think it will make to the wheels in my car?
3.91 gears
Performabuilt level 2
3200 tripple disc stall (will be locked)

I can dyno on 28" tires or 26" tires. Previous numbers were on 26".

Wait till you see one of our next 427's,PI 275cc catherdral port heads,Fast 102,a little bigger cam.Should be fun

15w40 or 15w50 would be best

Hmm. I checked Autozone, Oreily and Walmart. Looks like it's either 15w40 Royal Purple or 15w50 Mobil. I know the thicker oil is for the bearings and such. Just curious how much power the thicker oil costs.

With that weight of oil and a melling oil pump I wonder what the pressure would be. Hopefully not too high.

You running an AC Delco filter still?
