340 528. Purple cam question

...was that with stock iron heads?
Yes bone stock 2.02/1.60's, just a lap in of the valves...I used fel-pro h/gaskets so comp was probably only mid to highish 9's.

At 101 MPH you should have been (or should say you were making enough HP) to run high 12's. That puts you ~ 290 HP
At 108 MPH you should have been 12 teens or so. At the same weight you had ~ 340 HP.

MPH is horsepower. ET is hook.


Yes I know mph is hp and ET is hook, and my car didn't hook like a stocker to get your no's. it was on stock 340 l/springs with a snubber and long shocks, with worn fronts thats all. I guess you use the Moroso slide rule whereas I have always used Wallace which has been very accurate for my and others cars I've inputted that have actually gone down the track here at SP.
12 teens is 110mph@390fwhp
High 12's are 104@330fwhp.

To give you another example my 3000lb 446ci Cuda ran [email protected] = 600fwhp with a 1.39 60 which was more or less spot on with the Wallace calc....again not stocker 60's. We do have a '69 Chevelle A/SAA car that runs those no's 9.90's@131 and some change with 1.28 60's. I think the Wallace software was based on cars that left reasonable but nothing spectacular as if you input a stockers ET/mph it kinda all goes wrong, very light cars also messes it up some.
