“Best” all around axle ratio: ~450hp w/ A904?
How true!
How many times have I heard comments like ... "my car makes 700 hp does the quarter in 8 seconds!.
Old adage still stands..
"when the flag drops, the bullshit stops.. "
Took the wife’s Cuda out to a car show. Besides the gaggle of disparaging remarks of how I screwed the car up royally, I was asked a host of questions on the engine.
I was told I have no clue what I’m talking about and it really makes *** hp.
I never dyno’d the engine and I really don’t care what the hp is.
.030-360 @ 11.5-1
Hyd roller at 224/230 -.573/.569-110
TF heads, rpm intake, 750, TTI headers -2-1/2 exhaust.
I’ve been given “Professional” parking lot HP ratings between 290 & 360 hp and my car can only run a 14- or up to a 12.5 in the quarter.
I did find it amazing how a few guys would rephrase that he same question 2-5 times.
How fast is it.
Never been to the track
What’s the trap speed
Aaaaa- never been to the track
What did it do for a ‘60?
So sorry, never been to the track
So how can you say it’s fast?
Ummmm, I never said it was or anything about how fast it is.
OK-OK, so what did it trap at?
(Repeat the above twice.)
Yea… actual conversation
When asked about the HP. IDK, never dyno’d it, you d guess north of 320? IDK. Then I get all the parking lot “Pro’s” giving me there vast experience…. LMAO!
I’ve been putting engines together since I’m 19/20 YO.
I stink at the guessing posts here. However I’ve been in more than just a few cars. I have a suspicion that this engine makes more than 320 hp….
But every last one said I’m nuts and full of it.
OK! Whatever…. I don’t care… but I’ll take the forums best guess…. It’s most likely better than mine!
LMAO!
