How much power should I have

[Empty Hand]

I’ve got a 440 30 over, 9.75 to 1 compression, comp cam 510 lift. 440 source ported heads, tunnel ram with two 600 carbs. With headers. What kind of hp should I have?

Time slip??

 

[barbee6043]

Heads? Did you buy it from RoadKill's Freiberger!??

My guess around 500 hp. Depends on how well ported the heads are.

 

[Oldiron440]

Not enough!

480hp/530tq

Thanks for your wisdom

Cam duration @050?
This is a huge help to have that number

Do the price is right and guess 501 hp and you win

Looks like it's set up for drag racing. You'll know how much power it's making after the first couple passes. MPH and weight will give you a better hp estimate than us.

If the correct gear and converter are in it.

It’s a 74 colt drag car that is now street legal. Haven’t had it to a track yet. It’s 2000 pounds. Set up for 1/8 . It can get up and go. Was just wondering about power. Thanks for looking.

More info about the cam and heads would make guesstimating easier and more accurate.
Full cam specs and what level of porting, cfm cc etc..

Reminds me of a guy I met a long while back that had the Arrow and a small block running low 9’s through exhaust manifolds.
Car was crazy quick.

6.00 or less in the 1/8 at over 112 mph

Should be a fun ,reliable car.

Not enough camshaft, my guess is 450-475 HP depending on head work.

More than a go cart and less than a cargo ship.

reminds me of a quote from my buddy who works on big ships when i asked him how much horsepower one of those giant diesels made: all of it.

and when i asked about torque he said: double that.

 

[missing linc]

470 hp

Enough to kill you in that little car.
