300hp to the wheels 318

Here are the specs on my 318. I did not build it.

- 318 w/ RPM Performer manifold, Holley 750 double pumper
- Lunati cam & lifters (p/n 71977-16) adv. duration 290/290 @.050 240/240 lift
- Gross valve lift .520/.520 LSA/ICL 106/102
- TRW .040 Forged Pistons (compression ratio unknown)
- 273/318 iron heads w/ minor polish (heads/manifold port matched)
- Doug’s long tube headers, 3” exhaust w/ Black Widow mufflers
- A518/46RH transmission 3200-3500 stall converter
- Ford 9” 3.54 gears 31 spline axles Diamond locker rear

1st pull: 254 hp. 377 tq. @ 5000 rpm
2nd pull 262 hp. 397 tq. @ 5000 rpm
3rd pull 273.3 hp. 411 tq. @ 5000 rpm

I know of a dead stock bottom end 318 with 8-1 comp and a similar duration solid cam make 400 hp according to the moroso calculator. They had to slow it down to stop it breaking out of the class by changing to a standard Performer manifold. I'm sure it would have been quicker had they chased the tune.
