I know you guys are in the know on this so I will stay out of that!
I realize that a stock freshly rebuilt 440 is around 350 HP or so if it has any compression. I'm giving up alot by not having the compression that it should and not boring etc. It is a sacrifice. My hope is that I can gain back some of my losses with the cam, intake and headers and headwork.
This is a total budget thing. People on this site don't seem to mind tightwads like some of the others!
It is not so much a tightwad thing as I also play with 4x4's and I have to put my $ there first since I live in deep snow.
I'm just starting the journey that many of you have been on for years and years.
If I can drive to the track and crack a 12 anything-12.99 I would be happy for now.
This is not the car that I want to build forever. It is step one and I have a wife who will graduate in less than a year and our income should about double. Then we can talk about 500HP......Till then 350-375 would be sweet!
Thanks so much for your help. I need to get to grading.......
