4373lbs. with driver
10.77@124mph around 3975'DA

Have ran faster but was bracket racing and had to go hard on the brakes. Going off 60' and DA that day and way it was pulling thinking it was in the high 10.6's. This year planning low 10s at local NHRA track, and hoping for a 9sec time slip at outlaw track just to say I have with proof in hand.

7.36 Best 1/8th ET with a 4.10 rear. Haven't ran it with the new rear yet. I'm putting a nice 496 together for it as we speak.

[Outlaw72]

Nope...not optimistic at all, you can get close to 730hp with a 496 on pump gas with a 4150. Oh yea, off the shelf parts and unported heads.


However, I was thinking you might be a little on the sarcastic side...lol

Ok...umm....I call BS. While 1.4 HP per cubic inch can be done with out a ton of work, I'ts not going to happen with shelf parts and pump gas and a baby 4150 carb easily. Maybe with some 315cc AFR cnc heads, 11-1 CR a nice solid roller and a 150 shot. My bud has a 505 with 12-1 and eldebrock roval heads, solid roller... a pretty nice combo over all. Dyno'd at 645HP

OH YEAH!...I have a freind who's uncles friends brother just so happens to have a 60somehtin Impala with a 327 with 600 horses and it runs 10 flat..................JUST KIDDING! JK JK JK JK JK JK JK....

Seriously though you guys have some very IMPRESSIVE trucks. Great Job to alll of you. I am envious. After my kids(2yr old and a 2mo old)get a little older, then I will start a drag car/truck project.

A good tuner can get 720 or so out of it.....box stock carb with nothing more than different jets, unported afr 305's and off the shelf cam offered from jegs.

Imagine what the afr 325 CNC head will do.....750?

I hate to say it but 645 from a 505? 12:1 and solid roller......there is something very wrong with that picture. Needs a different head if you ask me.

Here is another one for ya .... this one makes less power but it is also hydrolic cam and a different set of heads with an airgap.

http://www.popularhotrodding.com/fea...lle/index.html

720 or so is very doable with off the shelf, pump gas components.

[bigjimzlll]

That was on a REAL dyno,not some made up..need to sell parts...magazine fiction story.
Yes the heads are the limiting factor. How much does the GM 572 make?

My 431 big block iron head rectangle port dynod 684 to the flywheel on a real dyno and a proform 950 carb with a 680 lift solid roller. Bought my motor from awsome engines.

The GM 572 crate is a turd and designed for a warranty. I'd be willing to bet anything that with a good tune and the right parts combo, it makes well over 720. I did not know the magazine articles used fake dynos.......

720 on pump gas with off the shelf parts from a 496 is very doable and I'm not justifying the articles......what makes that so hard to believe? I saw a 509 with a small flat tappet cam unported 990's make 600hp @ 9.5:1 cr.

I appologize for being so snippy. It's just one of my pet peives. Magazines and TV shows inflate their numbers...it is well known. They have to sell the parts they install. If it didn't make good numbers who would buy them?
They are not fake dynos. Anyone using a dyno can make it say what ever they want. Just be fudging the correction numbers. This how Ebay dealers sell 700HP BBC for 5grand..It's complete bull and it pisses me off.

I do believe that some folks lie to make a sale ..... especially on sites like ebay. But I have read so many stories of a radical 496 I just couldn't believe that setup didn't make much power. It's a very popular combo. JMO

[Super73]

Here are a bunch of different Calcs..

http://www.wallaceracing.com/Calculators.htm

[71Dragtruck]

I had one that was balls on for my truck and the track where I race at one time but the web site went down. I also had one back in the Windows 95-98 days that used frontal area, chassis type, DA, etc. But never had my truck at the track then to see how accurate it was.

[71Dragtruck]

I went through the Wallace calculators and If use my estimated rear wheel HP they work out real close to my stats. If I use crank #'s from my dyno sheets they are way out. Now I take dyno numbers with a grain of salt and I've read just as many dyno articles on how the numbers are corrected and worked to read REAL good. I'll look for it and try my best to find one in Car craft or Hot rod can't remember where, but they even admitted to it, and had complaints from people that built those motors and made nowhere near the power they made.

That being said, I dynoed my motor mainly to break it in and to do a bit of timing and carb tuning to get it close before I hit the track. The place that built my motor crushed all my dreams of following a magazine high HP build the first day I spoke to them about building my motor and basically told me if I wanted to see those numbers that another shop would more then likely do it with their dyno but they had a more realistic approch and if I expected those #'s I would be dissapointed with their methods.

I went with their method and saw lower then the magazine builds on the dyno, but it made what was estimated by the builder. And with the parts I put into my motor I don't think that what it makes is BS. As far as online calculators well they are for fun, real numbers are made at the track, and are effected by many things, DA, traction, converter slippage, correct gearing, frontal area, wind direction, the list goes on and on.

TOO many times this discussion comes up with HP numbers and who's motor makes what on the dyno and this magazine made this power with this combo, and one guy spent $8000 less then another guy and makes more power and and he just had to bolt it together and on and on and on never ending like my post. And in the end everyone has their veiws and opinions like holes and strings, aresholes and yo-yos.

And I'll admit when I see a claim of HP from a combo that I know isn't making it I cringe and it's hard to control posting up a call out of BS. And I know of other members that have the same problem cough" JIM "cough. And it's not that I want to burst bubbles and start crap, just trying to keep it real for others that may be spending money and looking for results they aren't going to acheive.

This will be my last opinion, rant or comment on this subject, so I figured I'd make it as long and boring a ramble on as I can, if your annoyed by reading through all this garble well that's how I feel after reading a engine combo that is likely making 100 less Hp then is claimed. I know a guy who's motor made over 1000hp on the dyno with a 250 shot, then ran a 9.66 at the track in a 3500lb. car, hmmm wonder why he now twitches when he says his engine bulders name??? His other set up of alot less power ran 9.97. I'd say start looking at the total power curve and average power and torque, spend alot less time with peek HP numbers, he had a good dyno combo but poor car combo for starters.

Have a good one!

[bigjimzlll]

Lol....yea I need to start takin my meds. Sometimes I should just bite my tongue. Hi, my name is Jim and I have a probelm. I can't keep my nose out of other peoples engine combo's.
I hear admitting you have a problem is the first step...so...

[Outlaw72]

Well how about I build it and take it to a dyno and get the real scoop....sounds good to me

Lets not forget about it
