Default What should my motor make????
I know that im not gonna get perfect numbers but a ballpark would be cool. I have a fresh stock rebuilt motor with a eagle cast crank, scat i-beam rods,speed pro forged pistons, stock heads, cc 503 cam, 1.6 magnum rockers, trickflow lifters, stock rear with 3.73, a4 with 2800 stall, and a 125 wet shot of nitrous with a nitrous works kit. Just wondering what it would make to the wheels. And if anyone knows a ballpark estimate of what it would run in a 1/4? Thanks

what compression ratio?

I'd say around 320-330rwhp n/a plus 100 or so rwhp from the 125 shot. as for track times prolly around a 12.3-12.6 at around 109-112mph n/a

I also have a PCM4Less tune,Pace Setter Longtubes,off road y-pipe, qtp cutout,svo 30# injectors, msd 6a box,a 255lph fuel pump, and i'll be running mickey thompson radials at the track. I forgot 2 mention this stuff up above. Also this motor is a 355 in case anyone needed to know.

Don't know for sure i've taken the back seats out,the spare tire and everything in that hole, and the padding under the carpet above the fuel tank. so it's still pretty much the stock weight you could say.

Now remove the bumper supports, AC, heater box, With what you've done already, that should be a good 150 lbs or more off of the car.
