Hi everyone
Just wanted to know approximate hp a 318 bored .060 over with a 4in stroker kit trick flow heads 2.02 intake 1.57 exhaust comp cam XE262H hydraulic lifters Harland sharp roller rockers eddy rpm air gap Holley 650 double pumper Henderson headers with 2 1/2 exhaust and FBO ECU and distributor thanks and Merry Christmas to all
 
You got 550+hp heads but not with that cam and carb, hard to say don’t see that cam and head combo, maybe around 475 hp? Give or take.
 
As long as the compression is up to snuff, you'll make a massive amount of tq in the 2800 to 4500 range. You will be power limited upstairs, but if this is mainly a street car, i'd run no more then 3.23 gear, a tight 3k converter and cruise,cruise,cruise with the ability to smoke the tires into the next county. :)

As far as HP, i'll agree with ''273'', @5500 ish
 
Guessing like all the rest of the answers you get. 385 horse. Lots of torque. Probably 425 or so and at lower rpm. A bigger cam would give you more power. Even a bigger carb. There again, guesses.
 
I have a hard time seeing make less than 450 hp, even running 27 or so less degrees of cam and .05-.100 less lift than most, lesser stock LS heads can do 500 hp with similar cam with a 5.3l. A xe262h cam with stock magnum heads should be able to get mid-high 300 hp can’t see why trickflow wouldn’t get way much more than that.
 
And the cool thing about this thread is everyone is right unless the op puts his stroker on a dyno to prove otherwise. Then we can discuss how valid that particular dyno is. :rofl: :rofl:
 
Forget power numbers, you could use the idle vacuum on that thing to run your own carpet cleaning business!!!

Gonna make some good cylinder pressure, watch the ignition timing.

375 hp, the cam is a very limiting factor.

Great minds think alike. Strokers are good at producing torque but not excessive amounts of horsepower unless you really juice them up. 12:1, 600 lift roller, and heads hogged to the max will get you to mid 10's along with all the other parts to make it work.

back in october nick's garage dyno'd a 318 stroker, 10.5:1 with the small valve 360/340 heads that had been ported and bigger 2.02 intakes put in (allegedly), comp XE275HL 528 231/237, stock hydro rockers, performer RPM with a 750DP, running thru manifolds

hair over 400hp @ 5500
about 440tq @ 4200

so you've got wayyy more head, roller rockers, better exhaust, but less cam and carb. i think your numbers will be close to that. 385/415
