Re: tunnel ram carb talk

You would gain with 850s but not for money spent. You would Def be happy with a pair of doms and see better improvement. I went through same thing with 900 plus hp sbc. Braswell told me when I went from 865 hp to the 935 setup that his 850s would still do the job. I ran it 3 times, about 7 passes. ...

Weighs 3350lb on the scales on the ring rd BP.
If you go to Calder you'll have to drop in and put it on the individual wheel scales.

Scaled this beast recently.

Re: When does custom porting become beneficial?

If you want longevity, just put an ls and make it look like a stock factory looking 350.

Re: 401 sbc ready for the Dyno

I don’t think any more power will be squeezed out of this small head 401 sbc. So time for a bit of fun and revisit the guesstimates. I’m calling it 568hp @ 6500rpm and 532ft/4900rpm from a run with 975cfm carb that wasn’t influenced by multiple runs (the 571hp/538ft/lb run) Ok as a Ford man i'll go...

Excuses as to why "Rippers" down 5 MPH to a heavier car with production heads. Gas & Carburetors NA
It's simple Ripper's engine is not making the hp that the dyno printed out.
