Guess My H P !!! - The Dyno & 1/4 Mile Time Thread

[CarMichael Angelo]

what is wrong with the Bama? Just curious as I am going to need a chip here soon.

Other than hot as balls, and so humid, even frogs sweat?..

google "BAMA SUCKS" lol

I pm'd. Didn't want to derail to much lol.

No dyno for new combo, but I do have a time slip.

-Home built, stock block 331, 10.7:1
-AFR 185'so OOTB w/ LS style valve springs
-FTI cam, 227/235 .613/.588 111.5
-HSM2 with 70mm Race Accufab and 80mm Pro-Mike
-AFM Big tube Shorties
-AC & PS intact
-No tuning
-3360lbso race weight

-7.45 @ 91.88 MPH leaving off 2 step @ 6,000 rpm. Online calculators show 364.5 rwhp.

Here's my sheet, the supercharger puked it's guts during the pull (front seal). I think it has more potential but we will see.

306. 9.3:1
Gt40 3 bar heads home ported
Funnel Web
50lb injectors
Eaton m90 10psi -- 6psi by 5k rpm
E303
75 and 65mm throttle bodies
Blue oval shortie headers.
Alot of stock clutch slippage.

That's 386tq 282hp.

Curious what my 1/4 times will be now that I put some 255/60-15 Mickey Thompson S/S drag radials on the car.
Car made 479rwhp and 473rwtq and ran 12.268 @ 119.35 on super cheap 245/45-17 radial tires last year. Any guesses?

Anywhere from .2-.7 depending on how hard you can launch it is
My guess. You didn't have terrible 60ft times on that slip.

 

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

I've got one for you guys.

My old combo was:
347, I think around 9:1 because of deeply dished pistons and large factory combustion chambers
'69 C9OE 351W heads, ported and polished by hand (very well done) 1.90/1.60 valves
AFM N-91 cam
Wieand Stealth intake
Holley 650DP
Full length headers, etc etc.
Made 362/364 at the wheels

New combo will the the same except for:
AFR Renegade 185’s, 58cc chambers to hopefully bump that compression up
Edelbrock Victor Jr intake
Pro Systems 780cfm carb

Whenever I get around to finishing it. I'm actually concerned that the new heads won't make much more power. The old heads were ported by a wizard. I also kinda expect to lose torque or not make much more but gain peek HP.

 

[A5literMan]

More compression will raise both hp and torque. With aluminum heads you should be able to add more timing. Also the bigger valves,and I assume more efficient ports,etc, should make a more efficient motor. The intake/carb combo will probably lower lowend a little but again you'll probably make more avg power imo.

 

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

A broader curve is always a win. I'd love to break 400 at the wheels but I dunno about that much gain based on how well the ported heads did. But, I know the cam is worth more than its' surrounding parts so hopefully higher flowing heads/intake/carb will let it eat.

What suspension mods?

Mine has what I was told were Racecraft lowering springs, no name LCAs and the rest of it is stick 154k mike stuff. There is no weight transfer.

I need some tips here boys...

I went to the track last weekend and ran a 14.1 @ 101....having troubles getting traction on 245 street tires and waiting for some slicks.

92 Notch
Balanced Bottom End
Comp custom cam 218in/220 ex degree .512/512 lift/114 lobe centres.
FMS HD Timing Chain, Comp Cam Dual Valve Springs
Edelbrock Performer Aluminium Heads 1.94/1.60 valves
New Multiangle valve job, Exhaust ports blended from CNC port opening into runners
Extrude Honed Ported
FMS Blue Roller Rockers and roller lifters.
Cobra Intake Manifold
FMS 65MM throttle body, 24lb injectors. C&L 73MM
Headers, straight H pipe, UD pullies and all other small goodies.
31spline axles, Auburn HD diff and FMS 8.8 rear end 3.55 gears
KYB Adjustable gas shocks, megabyte lower control arms.

The 14.1 happened on a very hot night with a few passes....was running almost 15's before trying to get traction. I'm going again tonight and hoping to break into the 13's....its a MUCH cooler night but im worried about traction.

Any tips?
Should i deflate the tires a little?

 

[a91what]

That seems very slow for what you have there.... deflate the tires a bit run around 30lbs unhook one side of the front swaybar. Try again.

That's what I'm going to try and I'll post the results. I was leaving around 1800rpms spinning a little bit off the lane and a little into second. Shifting at about 5k

Raise your shift point. That cam and 3.55 years should like around 5500rpms. Also try riding the clutch out of the hole a little bit. Don't use the water box in the burnout area. Just give a quick little spin of the tires to clean them. Then stage. If you're just worried about a time don't worry about cutting a light. The timer doesn't start until break the beam. Just concentrate on staying in the tire groove going down the track(you should be able to see it) it will be the stickiest area for you to gain some traction. Make clean shifts and write down everything you can i.e. Air temps,tire pressure,shift points etc etc.

Also make sure you're running good fuel and as much timing as you can(should be around 14* adv). Most importantly have fun
