what kind of power will i be making?

[Modular2v]

afr185s, victor jr intake, 750 carb, 331 stroker with longtubes, 500 lift cam

 

[grey5.0beast]

lowto mid 300s to the wheels

 

[emagdnim]

Im gonna say closer to 400 at the wheels with a good tune, mabye more.. is the block tourque honed? That can be good for 30 - 40 hp!

Whats your exhaust set up? Can you swing for a good cam? Through an AOD with that combo, i'll say 310hp. The track will tell the real story

the aod is fully built with a full manual valve body.....and yes i do plan on upgrading the cam a little later...exhaust setup includes, longtube headers, bbk h pipe and flowmasters

yes it is torque honed

ah okay this is torque honing... http://www.circletrack.com/techarticles/82438/

Silly....that's gonna give you 30 or 40 hp!! Actually, it makes sense that a well machined and balanced motor will make a little more power.....but 30-40 hp? Lets just say its true so that we don't ruin Emagdim's high. Mums the word. Lets just play along.

 

[Modular2v]

i by no means think it will give me 30-40 more hp....but i think it will just be a better quality motor because of it

HP figures "out in the air" are annoying anyway... getting a dyno tune will help get the most power from timing and tuning also give what power the engine is making. There a lot of "400hp" cars floating around in the 13 to 14 second range where I live lol

 

[Modular2v]

well its a carb car so i dont think it is going to see a dyno anytime soon .....i guess the track times will tell

 

[emagdnim]

Ive read several articles where torque plate honing has gotten close to 30hp... thats also why alot of those engine short block builders advertise there engines make 30 - 40hp more due to the torque plate honing.

why wont your car see dyno time?

Why wont you dyno it cause its carbed?

 

[Modular2v]

i have never dynoed any of my cars..... just kind of saw it as a waste of money i guess.....track time are more interesiting, i was just curious what people with similar combinations are making....i would like think over 350hp on a 331 with afr heads but i guess i could be wrong?

My friend put 313hp to the wheels with AFR185s and Performer RPM Intake. It matters on the cam, and I don't know the specs of your cam, but I do not think it is big enough. I'm guessing low 300s.

 

[maverick0716]

You're gonna want more cam than .500" lift.

 

[88 Fox GT]

You're gonna want more cam than .500" lift.

Definitely. I was thinking the same thing.

yes, but im also running a 331

throw it on the dyno and put all the guessing aside
