Hello fellow members, just seeing if anyone has some estimates on what kind of power i'm making with my current setup. Any advice for changes are welcome, but i'm normally working on a smaller budget than most.

87 block and bottom end
Holley 600 vac. Sec.
Performer RPM intake
Gt40p heads w/ tfs springs
Anderson n-41 cam
BBK shorties
BBK 2 1/2" offroad into thrush welded
Underdrives
Electric fan
No p/s or a/c

If you're looking for an estimate/comparison check out the stickie at the top of the forum. But my guess is somewhere around 275 rwhp

 

[Stay Shady]

Alright thanks, I read all the pages in the thread but didnt see a combo horribly close to mine to compare.

 

[madspeed]

280 rwhp

 

[mikestang63]

272.65 rwhp

Wow these are higher numbers than I expected, around 250 was my guess but I tend to think low since it's nothing special.

That's refreshing to see. Usually people expect 400 whp out of a P setup. I bet it runs great though.

Supercharge the crap out of that thing.

I've researched supercharger's, they are just out of my budget for the time being. My plan is to buy the efi twin turbo kit from ebay( yea i've seen the reviews and heard about the problems) and modify it to fit my application. Seems to be my only option for forced induction, plus its more time to tinker with my car.

Hehe.... With your carb setup, I'd look around for a used roots blower and street that bad boy every day. LOL

Roots are my favorite style, but even the used ones are out of my reach.

Theres a local guy who has one of the twin kits you are talking about. I think its new and he's been trying to sell it forever.

Edit, just looked. He wants $1100

 

[Stay Shady]

Would you know what kit it is? The 25 piece is most likely the one i'll settle on, its around $1100 also so his might be worth looking at if its a better system.

They seem to change all the time but you get the idea.

He's got some money in it. It was ceramic coated by a friend of mine and has lots of stuff to go with it.

 

[Stay Shady]

Nice setup, hope he can sell it but if it's still around in a month or two i'll have it saved to favorites.

It's been around for a while, doubt its going anywhere soon.

When I first got my 89, previous owner had it dyno'd. Had an Anderson N-41, E7 heads, explorer throttle body and cheepo "cold air" intake and FRPP headers.
