Brainstormin' 440 vs 5.9 ...

[TT5.9mag]

Recent video of Freiburger dyno testing a basic 440. The results in the video are making the guesses in the top half of this list look pretty promising.

It’s nice at the top of the hill. You should join me.

Higher they are, the further they fall.......

they have TRW Pistons, zero deck, he talks of a Hughes cam so it’s really not relevant to my engine other than to say mine will be a lot less horsepower, which we already know cause the factory stamped it at 195 net

The asthmatic cylinder heads of his combination may help you with your "off the trailer" gear selection.

Other than that, the engine was a disappointment for the money someone spent, in comparison to the factory 440 Magnum specs: No Bueno...

Alrighty! We’ll get you down for 13.30 with a gear that works. Taking a dive to the lower end of the spectrum!

And if the track is only racing 8th mile that day, because once in a while that happens to us, we’ll just use the online calculator to convert to a quarter mile. It’ll be the best I can do.
