More Parts bin math gone awry

Post by MNFatz »

This is how to throw away money on an SBC.

http://www.fiero.com/forum/Forum2/HTML/077431.html

This is a kick ass small block that's about to be choked by a TPI.

The's throwing about $1500 away on heads and a cam that he won't see any improvement on because the TPI won't flow the numbers; it walls on it's face after 4000 RPMs--where his mods make power.

What a shame. It's gonna be a mess. The rest of that setup is great.

What are you talking about? He is using aftermarket heads, with larger tpi runners and a ported base. Just like cali's setup. SHould make 400 hp no problem.

He did dyno it once before with its current mods and did 236 whp. I think he expects around 300 or so now with these mods. Who knows.

I can see 300whp out of that setup, so long as the tune is good.
