Hey Guys. I'm replacing my 140,000 miles stock bottom end, still running strong but getting A TON OF BLOW BY AND OIL LEAKS. I recently put down 378hp/396tq on a mustang dyno. Running 14.6 psi through a set of edelbrock heads, edelbroc intake, and a vortec s trim.

I recently purchased a 331 stroker motor with a scat crank and probe pistons, and was planing on running the same head's intake exhaust and supercharger.

I lowered the compresion ration with some .094 Cometic Gaskets.

I'm Curious what you guys think I'll be puting down power wise.


Thanks!


Here is actualy a very informative artice on my car-->

On that same dyno, I would think you could push around ~ 430 RWHP, same tune.

Of course, many have gotten much more than that, but I am basing that off your old numbers.

.094" is an awfully thick gasket.

Also, I would strongly look into an aftermarket block.

Good Luck.

Thanks for the Reply. I went with the thicker gaskets to help lower my compression below 9:1. I'm looking to run more boost, possibly with Methanol injection. My goal is to have around 500 rwhp.

How much power can these blocks take with an tune.

well at least you'll have a nice flower pot

Well I ended up putting down 467 RWHP and 447 TQ. With a much more conservative tune! only 4 degrees of timing. and 1/2 degree of boost retard. Also running the methanol injection activated at 4psi. We were going for safety.

This may actually cause detonation.

There is STILL more in there... however those numbers are great!! Yes??

Nice numbers. I had a stock 302 block layin' down 530rwhp and it had about 20K miles on it when I sold it. FWIW I was also spraying 200 to get it there.

whats the AFR and total timing on the current setup? the numbers are good but IMO i think there is more power in the tune on the current setup.
