How much would be left on the table?

Thats the first thing I thought when I saw the lsa, man, this is gonna sound awesome! I bought it with dyno time only, it was in a 340 with w2 heads, and a restricted carb for circle track, and it made a little over 500hp. I figured with 80 more cubes, 2.081.65 valves, unrestricted intake/carb, I may be able to best that without having to rev much past 62-6300. I guess I am beginning to get greedy for power though lol.

Mine with 242@ .050 was done at 5600ish. You're probably right on. It shoudl sound mean. I made 467-505 depending on the tune, carb and intake combo. Dyno time is usually 500$ and worth every penny.

If it's a street car and you want to run pump gas, and you run the 250/254 104 LSA camshaft, I would learn how to spell detonation.

Not sure why. It's not crazy compression and it will bleed off plenty of cylinder pressure at lower RPMs. TIming will be key. Most guys have too much timing and way to fast of a curve for street use.


DOn't get too hung up on HP numberas. Some dyno's are generous and others stingy. They are for break in, testing and tuning. The HP numbers are a relative result.
