How can i make 700 horse from a 410 stroker

And that’s fine but when you come across sounding like you have traveled the road it makes you sound like an expert. It’s not all about numbers on a blackboard, or a dyno room.

I get what your saying, never pretended to be an expert, but if I feel i have something to add I do.

You could give three guys the same 500 horsepower and some guys are going to make it run like 550 and some guys are going to make it run like 400You could give three guys the same 500 horsepower and some guys are going to make it run like 550 and some guys are going to make it run like 400.

I agree but also everything ain’t about drag racing, bet a very small percent race regularly of those with a performance car, and I say very little about racing cause like you point out it’s not my thing.

Sorry for putting you on the spot there.

No worries, I got nothing to hide.

Just to use an example at our college in pittsburgh we had a mechanic engineer that just graduated from college. This gentleman was 100 times smarter than I could ever dream of being. Being a Millwright I worked with mechanical engineers almost everyday. Well this young man jacked up his car in the school parking lot to fix a problem. Minutes later he was found dead with the car on top of him. There’s a lesson in this story and it doesn’t take brains to learn from it. RIP young man.

Never said Theories formulas etc.. are the end all, but they do have there place.

There’s nothing controversial about using a version of torque x rpm/ 5252 = hp, torque per cid, and torque at peak hp is a percentage of peak torque to find the rough area peak hp rpm could occur, I say average is about 90% but torque is generally falls 85-95% of peak torque at peak hp. This is about the only thing that really could be debated as wrong, but it still could help the OP to at least know where he has to spin it to, that may or may not be a problem for the OP but to me is valuable info that no one has proved/showed that I’m wrong.
