You guys want your cake and eat it to. Let’s see 700 horsepower NA and on pump gas too. Now pump gas can be anything from 93 octane to E85 so I’m guessing E85 would be the smart move.
Highest flowing sbm heads?

If anybody cares, Rod has exactly 3 pairs of heads left available.
The stuff he had sold off quickly.

To clarify I meant pump gasoline, not e85. Any old gas station off main street

Bloomer heads made 657 and 680 hp and have ran well at track. Add high compression or keep it pump gas and maybe find a m1 tunnel ram. Just a thought? But anything 600-650 pump gas should already be plenty lol

That's only 1.68 HP per cube. Although not easy certainly not impossible. From what I have been told by some one who was doing it after 2 HP per cube on pump gas it gets hard
It’s hard in my book but then again I’m a budget racer. No special ring pacs, no vacuum pump, no line bore, no torque plate, no lightweight parts, shift at 6800 rpm, no special valves, home ported junk, probably a smaller carb than most would run, Chinese parts, self assembled, no dyno tuning, etc.
But still runs like a scalded dog!
Show me the guy that makes 2hp per cube on pump gas.
360ci x 2hp = 720hp or 408ci x 2hp= 816 hp
This is a big reason most of these posts go south. The 700 horsepower on pump gas guy doesn’t have the balls to start his on post. But after 25 pages he joins in with his “wet-dream” wishes. Can it be done??? Yes!!!! But we just gave him 25 pages of what it would take to hit his magical number of 700. Very unlikely he has the budget or know how to keep such an animal alive. Damn I hate these ragizine articles that guys read never realizing what is involved.

700hp on pump gas, like 93 octane at 416" will take decent ported W8's or 9's, ported intake, a Ritter or R block, a solid roller in the mid 270-280° @.050", 700"+ lift, decent rods and crank, good oil control, good machine work and assembly. And don't be scared to turn it up. This is how I'd do it, your mileage may vary.
In general I agree but it would be challenging nonetheless. And with a cam like that any kind of street manners are going to be out the door.
And that’s only part of the package. Now we need a cooling system, bullet proof rearend, good shocks, tires, suspension, etc just to make it all worthwhile. Then you take it on no prep roads and expect it to hook. Lol

You’d be surprised. “Street manners” is very subjective and as I always say…95% of the time not having ”street manners“ is tuning.
And I don’t care so you are, making 2 HP/CID is a *****. Thats why you don’t see it very often.

You aren't going to get 700 n/a hp out of 416" without a cam close to what I posted, let alone the rest of the parts to make it. Reality bites.

Exactly, my Dart has a 266/271°, .711/.719 solid roller and gets street driven a lot.
You're not making 2hp per CID on pump gas N/A.
I don't care who it is that claims so and I know you never made that claim.

Wow well isn't that answer righteous since now all of a sudden your an expert on what a guy should do n/a and yet all through this post all you did was argue facts

I'm glad I started following this thread as your answers are better than a Saturday night comedy show.

Just a casual observer in this thread but it seems like all the guys with real experience and know how are getting argued with or at least it seems that way to me. There are 4 or 5 members that have given truthful and factual responses but it seems like some of the guys don't like the answer so they keep asking the same question over and over again in hopes of hearing what they want.
And some guys here bark that a cam that big to big to drive the on street. Heck, I get crap when I mention a cam of 250-something on the street!
A 700hp small block on pump gas? I’d like to see that only to be followed by the expense and details of the guy driving it everyday. Ain’t no one here pulling that one off.

Guys. Just because I said something about streetability of a car with a 270ish @50 cam, that doesn't make me an idiot. Nobody in their right mind is daily driving such a car.
That doesn't mean I wouldn't want a drag car I can drive to a car show or a dinner out with the wife. That's basically my goal.
Some of you are basically looking for the tiniest little bit of nonsense to try to drive a wedge in. It's really ridiculous.
I love Mopars. It's insane but I do. I also happen to love SB mopars. Again I'm insane. I currently have four. FOUR SB mopar engines.
Do you guys realize that we're all in the same tiny little niche? Sheesh
