[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3324490, member: 15054"] tyromeo55 I bet you did not see my 57 chevy with old school put the hurt on my buddies 2015 5.0 Coyote mustang ..His mods were different intake and filter smaller blower pulley for more boost and a tune and higher flowing exhaust. He said 550+ HP to the wheels.. Well here is a 350 chevy from a 1969 station wagon that has flat tops and cheap 305 heads and 280H comp flat tappet cam. Stock pushrods and stock rockers all stock GM bolts hold it together. Yes dual 4's 600cfm edelbrocks TH 350 and high stall and a lot of gear in the Ford 9". I also run a Ford flex fan. During the burnout the distributor moved and my total timing went from 38 to 28 and my upper end pull was diminished. OH well I still got the win. I have raced him many times and he can't pass me until 80+ mph from a roll. He has a 6 speed with 373 gears. His dad ran a 6.0 with LS3 heads in a nova that was much lighter than out tanks and it ran 12.0 et and he also could not take the 57 until 80+ MPH. Right combo you do not need a lot of Power.. you need a lot of average power. [MEDIA=youtube]fB0vQECFAzE[/MEDIA] Not that you are building a drag racer. That 57 pulls my 20 foot pontoon to the lake and No issues as it is not over cammed for that. Just a good combo with a lot of head porting :) The SBF heads are weak unless you step up to much newer stuff then they make the power. I feel power is in the heads and pick the cam for the job and toss some compression at it. [/QUOTE]
