Here’s one for you hot rod mag did a dyno with a 340. It had and air gap 800 eddy and comp 477 -480 lift cam stock bottom end made 390 hp I built a exact 340. But ran a750 eddy and 484mp cam and made 402hp lol and my cam was used in previous builds. Not new might be a 508 I don’t remember

That HR dyno derby or whatever it was titled mag deal is complete and utter BS with a stock flowing head. Built and been around more than one that was similar. It's a 1hp per CI build at best. Track MPH proved that out in a VERY good chassis.

A loy of the BS in the mags have never proven it at the track. I recall another where they built some 600+ hp engine, put it in a 73ish Dart and it ran a whopping 117mph in the 1/4. Something doesn't smell right here. Even with a HORRIBLE 2.0 60's that should run 125+.

The 484 cam is 15about degrees larger at .050 than the xe268H cam in the HR build. That makes a big difference in output.

Did someone say Hookers and Cocaine? LOL
