non-supercharged power building

[jim_howard_pdx]

Byronech seems to have a good combo. I love those 331 strokers. I went with a 351 W because I love LONG RODS and that 5.95 rod really keeps the piston at TDC a good LONG time.

Someday I will put in a street fighter 427 stroker bottom end. With a solid roller cam of 275 duration 5.60 lift, it should make 525 HP and put me in the late 10's.

And LX guy, remember MY CAR is set up for cornering. If all I wanted to do was quarter, I would put my 9 second Fairlane with a monster 428 back on the track. 9.2 quarter miles at 134 MPH. And the heads would still qualify for super stock class racing, since I am using the original rockers on hardened moly shafts.
13 to 1 compression, LeMans Rods and it revs to 8,000 RPM without ANY issues.

So when you small block guys want to party, just remember with Nitrous, I am sitting at 8.56 ET's.

See you at the finish line.

Common LX guy...... Smile and enjoy life
And anyone that thinks the Police Interceptor 302 was basically stock has got some real issues. It had stronger rods, was factory balanced, has forged or hypereutectic pistons, high performance rings, and a hot cam. I know because I used to buy these. They were the first interceptor engine in the 80's and 90's to sustain 150 MPH on the highway. The Hemi 426 used to run 150's too, but at about 9 miles per gallon.

Now the Chevy police cruisers use the 370 HP Corvette engine which does 157-162. Pretty wicked rides.
