Really??? Is the H/SA Mustang picture down the tread your car? I’d like to see one of those Cleveland's go -2.00!
THE lowest I’ve ever heard on a SBC (8 cylinder of course) was 7 lbs/ft of rotating torque... 1 lbs/ft difference could be error.
Just finished up a SBC NHRA Super Stock short block today - 4 lbs. breakaway and rotating, 15/50 break in oil on everythingjed wrote: ↑Sat Oct 17, 2020 11:22 amTHE lowest I’ve ever heard on a SBC (8 cylinder of course) was 7 lbs/ft of rotating torque... 1 lbs/ft difference could be error.
THE lowest I’ve ever witnessed was 11-12ish rotating and I’ve been fortunate enough to have been around a lot of very sharp and competent builders/racers.
My 327-275 (.390/.410 camshaft) will be about 7,400 at the finish line in decent air.
1- The plastic spacers are a Steeley-Eyed-Stocker-Secret. The cap screws were too long, we were headed to the dyno and since there were all these plastic oil pump drive shaft sleeves laying around.....
Each engine has it's limiting factor and on mine, it's the intake manifold. While the cam profiles and spring pressures are certainly capable of more rpm, there's no upside to running it past where the limiting factor loses you more than the increased number of power pulses gains you. The trick is to get it to hang on after it peaks without nosing over.
