I am going to use e 85. I have a flex fuel sensor so I can cruise on regular gas if needed.Craig J wrote: ↑Mon Dec 02, 2019 6:25 amWhat fuel are you planning to run? E85? Roller cam?turbotater wrote: ↑Mon Dec 02, 2019 5:10 am I have that basic combo.
Stock 454 , vs 78/75 turbos, 210 injectors , ms3 ultimate. I am using 781 heads .
Mine is running now but I haven't made in power pulls.
4 digit power I think is reasonable but I am not sure about 1300 to get to the number you are describing .

Thanks

My money is on the Chevy.

new crank
machine block to use 440 main bearing with larger thrust surface
new pistons
aluminum heads
Stage V rocker arms
new cam
new springs to match new cam
new pushrods to match new heads
balance

Well.. if a solid flat tappet 426 hemi can make 700+ hp and turn 9500 rpm then my pos chevy has its work cut out for it...af2 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 11:30 pm In 1974 The 426 my father built ran 6.14 in the 1/8th at 117mph in a 3400 lb full frame 68 Nova. Figure out those stats with no high stall converter.
Ran the Hemi converter that was around 2800. 6.14 gear Cross ram 660 holleys 12.5:1 Isky super leugera .550 solid. Shifted at 9500.
