whoops... i took the number i got and multiplied by 2... ended up with $2200 instead of $1100, which is what it should be...
so, you're making a solid 450-500 horse and a little more in torque? i plugged them into DD2000, and that's what it spit out. that's the neighborhood i wanted to be in. and with a shot of giggle juice i could easily be in the 700 hp world.
i appreciate you sharing your info. the more input i get, the more i lean towards the Dart aluminum heads. you state in your sig that you have a solid lifter cam, 1.6 rockers and .589 lift? damn, that's tall. custom pushrods? how loud are those solid lifters? is this strictly a strip car or do you drive it on the street?
hot rod mag did a buldup very similar to your setup with a 450 SBC. it seems this setup will work on everything from a 350 to a 460 SBC, with good amounts of toque and hp, differing according to which block is used.
thanks again.
