how much power? (beaten to death i know!!!)

[stevinwayne]

this is really a 2 part question

1.) what numbers could i expect with a combo like this:

completely forged 347 with lightweight rods and pistons (completely balanced and blue printed)
cast iron Dart heads 2.02/1.60 fully ported
edelbrock RPM II intake manifold (ported to match heads)
1 3/4 bassani shorty headers and 3 inch bassani o/r x and spintech mufflers
100-125 shot nitrous
10:1 compression ratio
30 or 38 lbs injectors (which one would you recommend?)
76 or 80mm Mass Air Meter (which one would you recommend?)
70 or 75mm throttle body (which one would you recommend?)
underdrive pulleys
CAI
smog pump removed
MSD 6AL

as far as the cam goes i spoke to someone at comp and they gave me the specs for a good street 347 cam and the lift seemed a little small to me i don't remember the exact specs but the lift was .533/.544. Does that sound a bit small to you?

how much horsepower would i be making if i used the cam listed above with all the other stuff?





2.) after a while, i will be replacing the dart heads with some ported Aluminum TrickFlow High Ports, and i will be replacing the shorties with some long tubes with matching o/r x pipe. after that is done who much more power will i pick up?



sorry about it being so long

find a dyno now... then do the work put it together and dyno it again... the only way to know what numbers you'll get, is to do it then dyno.
You need to get an EXACT plan of what you will do then select a cam that fits your set up. If you do more work later...then sell the cam and find a new one to fit your set up.

See what your cars got now... then obviously modding is gonna add somethin if you do it right as you've said you're having things blueprinted and balanced... but theres no point in guessing numbers... if the mods seem worth the cash to you... do it. If not start with the simple bolt ons that add some horse...even do the small things... Gears, U/L Intake... make sure it will have enough fuel supplied later and get a 255lph pump, remove your smog system (wont add noticable horse, just cleans up the bay)...etc.
its an opinon..but word is, stock Maf's are good up to 300 rwhp ..Injectors..there was somethin the other day about that..check that thread
I also think getting a chip tuned to your mods will help tons.
Just my opinons though, Adam
