A question for those of you with a 400 horsepower small block

[duster360]

Just curious what my 340 might do if I had 400 hp. I have a 4 speed with 3.91 gears out back. Would I be able to ease out on the clutch, let the car start rolling, hit the throttle and :burnout:

I think you'll find traction issues will occur

Yes, but in the real world, you want the tires to hook enough to give you minor whiplash.

Drop a 4" crank in it with good heads and see how much fun an A body can be.

my 400 hp 340 used to hook fine with 4.10 SG and 235-60-14 BFG's on it (auto tranny).

Of course, I also had traction bars -you know, the ones the purists always say don't help on our cars (lol).
