So I uh...did a thing

[Fueling Around]

No. It was all stock with 505 hp at the crank. Probably 440-450 hp at the rear wheel.

It will be tuned on the dyno once the upgrades are done.

What is the estimated time before you get behind the wheel?
This has been dragging out for the observers, but you must be as excited as all get out.

How much HP are you hoping to gain at the crank,?
Did the guy that built the heads give you an aprox idea of what can be expected? Are you doing anything else, like cam?
Heads alone are good for 15 to 20 HP, if you do the cam you MIGHT get a gain of 40 to 60HP. I used to really be into the HP game, but it's been over 35 yrs for me, so my BP/ Brain Power, isn't quite what it once was.

I'm in the process of looking for a 1960s Chevelle, Camero, Nova or Mopar. I want it to be turn key and totally reliable, with AC, so something with an LS swap is at the top of my list.

I'm not gonna rush into this, as it will be something I keep until the day I die.

If you remember flag me when you post up the final results of your upgrade please. I'm curious to see the gains you make.


Good luck, have fun, but most of all drive it like you stole it!!!

Dan.

It'll be in the 575-600 hp at the rear wheels. So add 11-15% to that to figure out the crank hp rating.

Heads, cam and intake are good for an increase of 125 hp. The throttle body will only gain 5-8 hp but the increased throttle response will be amazing.

Heads alone will gain way more than 25 hp. These are Stage 2 with custom porting/grinding and milling.

I freaking hope soon.

I expected to have my car by now. But I'm not sure. Another week or two likely.
