Another, Damn it, horsepower guess ??

The problem with making the HP guess is it’s pretty meaningless as far as area under the curve is concerned.

I’m betting you cam is ground on a 112 LSA. Even with your heads (I don’t think you mentioned what headers you have) you might have a nice peak HP figure but the fat part of the curve will be piggish. I’d have to do a bit of math but my first guess is a 108 LSA in no more than a 106 ICL is about as wide as you’d want to be.

That will keep the peak HP number the same or pretty close and it will put a bunch of power back in the middle. What it will also do is drop the HP after peak way down. IOW’s, instead of carrying peak HP 600-700 RPM longer it may only carry 200 RPM longer after peak.

I’d give up that after peak number every day and 10 times on Sunday and fatten up the middle (which is what most guys claim they want anyway) that chase that after peak number.

Just my .02 and it’s actually worth less than you paid for it.
