Big Block Edelbrock limitations.

Once again guys it comes down to building the right combo and not a bunch of parts working against each other. Heck I was running 9.80’s with ported 906 heads, TRW pistons, and stock cranks back in the late 1980’s early 1990’s. These cars should be flying now

And today, over here, Mopar guys are running anything from 500>572 motors to run those 9.80 times, perhaps a bit quicker from some that are race cars only, and that includes Hemis. There is 1 guy thats got it sorted and runs 9.5's/141 with a 580 wedge in a 4000lb all steel brkt car, but the rest well, I don't know if its down to chassis or the fact that they are all brkt racing and fast isn't the main consideration, its not money cos they are spending it, gotta be the combo.

Back in the day 1989>1991 all I had was a stock bottom end 440-6 block@less than 10:1 with some 2.14 906's ported some (probably not much more than 260cfm?) and the old [email protected]" .650" McCandless sft cam and made 531fwhp (nothing special I know) according to weight/mph with only an 850DP and a rubbish Team G intake.
