Two atmospheres are better than one
It’s nice at the top of the hill. You should join me.

Higher they are, the further they fall.......
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.
Sometimes that doesn't work if it's out of poop by the 1/8th
I wouldn't bank on that "a lot". I think something's wrong with his. As in maybe it doesn't have the zero deck height.
It won't be geared that way. If anything, the last 1/8th is where the 440 should shine pushing all that wind. Every 440 I've experienced is the pull past 100 mph is incredible vs the small block
Well, pistons and deck height they say..... and a cam of 228 @ 050..... I can assure that's not the case with mine.. lol
All these videos and dynos... lol. best way to look at this is what would 195 net hp be in gross hp power. Then add headers, which would be what in HP gains? It's really that simple.
I just found and bought a set of old NOS TRW pop ups. 12.5:1 i believe they are supposed to be. + .030 for 440. They are out there for down the road modifications
If net is 80% of gross If. Then 195 gross converted to net plus headers 10% gain comes upto 268 hp net my calculator shows 268hp at the flywheel in a 3800 lb vehicle comes out to a 14.66 1/4 mile time YMMV
It will be interesting to see actual results

I speculate that his best case scenario would be to “harness the meat of the 440 torque band” over the greatest % of the 1320’.
I tried 4.30.1 in a combination and felt that the powerband blew right by maximum torque over two short a distance. Dropped to 3.91:1 and lowered my ET while increasing the trap MPH.
If I had to guess, I'd say 295-305HP. Then add headers.
Did the RV intake have the big wallop out of runner #3 for the EGR?
Ok, I like this thought. Some math coming to a conclusion. It will be interesting how it actually performs to this post. Thanks!
Haven't looked at it in some time. I don't remember
I will know a lot more of this thought for the engine of discussion when I street drive/test it. I too have experienced similar results
oh... i forgot! (we forgot) !! There is the "X-Factory" - - - the rusty cylinder
...... .. .. . Remember, I honed out the one cylinder, cleaned the landings on the one piston, and put new rings on the one piston. Didn't do a compression test either when it was in the '79 Magnum.... so it remains a m-y-s-t-e-r-y!!Considering the size of that "coffee can" connected to the con-rod, I'm confident that the blow by of that cylinder is minimal.oh... i forgot! (we forgot) !! There is the "X-Factory" - - - the rusty cylinder
I really don’t know how accurate the math is but it should be in the ball park at least. Sometimes things especially engines punch above their weight class (big fat torque curve)
