Any idea of power at the wheels?

at the wheels went 400 . my engine builder wants me to mull heads off and port them and a torque power manifold an says it will run in to the 10.88 but it all $$$$ aint it!!!!!

soft 60 foot time, this has plenty left in it!

yeah i no i hadnt raced a car in 4 years i was a lettle rusty gettin off the line they reacon with the manifold change will help to .transbreak would be good my old car had one was great for racing but they are pritty harsh on the car

Thats pretty quick for a 400hp car isnt it?

nah not really.. 400HP at the wheels is alot n/a carby. setup right, running on song, you'd imagine his 116mph would be good for a very very low 11

my old LJ chev went 11.2 @116mph the heads on this thing are dead standered just cc,d and it falls over at 6000rpm stops making power when i raced it i was reving to 7-7500 it should go harder

Mate thats a top effort for an -off the trailer- first meet! Dont pay too much attention to what the dyno says, just keep creeping up on it at the strip. My VN headed 355 combo brick walled at 6700 rpm on the dyno with 272/276 (i.e. thats somewhere over 300 deg advertised) roller cam and 590hp flowed heads. Put it on the strip with no changes and it penalised me half a second and 3mph for shifting at 7200rpm instead of 8200rpm. The ET kept dropping slightly each time I tried a higher shift point until I hit valve bounce at 8500rpm. Dyno's are a great tool to let you know all ya bolts are tight and the pistons are strong enough!! ...Just pulling out my MOROSO calculator...

hmmmm EPA test!!!!!! got nabbed sat arvo cruzin what do you do ?? dam poolice... noise duznt sound to loud to me well may be a little

Let us know how you go with the test.

My vl makes 570hp on engine dyno and run 125.66mph. through a t400 and a 9" i reckon i'm only making 415 - 425 rwhp. i will be finding out for sure at powercruise this weekend when i throw it on the chassis dyno! Anyway just a comparison between two similar cars.

Man i so wish we had the powercruise down here you guys have them all the time but good luck with that
