Going Naturally Aspirated

[Classick Century Custom]

Ok so I have made my decision finnaly and getting ready to start buying the parts, please tell me if this will work for my goal of 250hp+. I am really excited to get this project on the move, I've also started the bodywork it's comming along wonderfully. Pics to follow shortly......

All WOT TECH:

Race Cam
Strip Heads
Comp Manifold Set
11.5 Pistons 0.40 overbore
68mm Throttle Body

This is what I have already figured for the build can you guys add what I may have missed, cause I'm thinking theres misc parts gaskets etc I will need please specify what so I can tell BEN when I order or so he will know.

Thanks for all the help everyone here offered, you guys have been more then awesome.

Do you have headers or do you plan to have some fabricated? You'll need them to reach that goal without a power-adder.

sounds like alot of money ,that 6 psi could make without breaking a sweat!

What motor? 3400, 3100, 3500???

I have a cam, 3400, with ported 3500 top end, 11.5:1 compression, headers and full exhaust. I should be 275-300 crank or somewhere around that. When the car is together I'll save up and take it to a dyno shop.

yeah headers would be a must, i was watching on muscle car TV they were dyno'ing a 409 SBC, they upgraded the headers to a over all 1/2 bugger and gained over 35 hsp for sure, but i think it was more, so theres alot to be had from headers, sorry for going off topic a bit.

Headers, 3500 heads, and a good dyno tune, and upgrading your injectors possibly and your good to go.

[SappySE107]

It is a 3100 build as far as I remember, so 3500 heads won't work. 250 crank or 250whp? Headers are certainly a worthwhile mod, which is why we are working to get as many applications covered as we have demand for.

[Classick Century Custom]

I have the headers and its a 3100, just need to know if the parts I am choosing will be a good match and then what else would be needed to complete the build. 250 to the wheels or however much I can get to the wheels, 250 is a baseline if I can yield more then great.

Truthfully speaking I would rather go turbo but don't know what turbo to buy or how to make the manifold or attachment pipes. Hell it would be a sinch to hit 250 or 500 if I went that route.

Plus who does'nt love the sound of a spooling 50 trim lol!!!!!

[Superdave]

with headers, a good exhaust and a really good tune it might.. depends on the trans though.

[bob442]

that might be hard with a 3100. might be farther ahead to start with a 3500, or 3400. pistons will be avalible soon hopfully for the 3500

Would I be able to run your super cam?, from the way you spoke of it seems it could give me the boost I need to reach the hp goal.

[MidnightriderZ24]

im telling you, driving a boosted 660 is an experience for sure. enough torque and horsepower to satisfy you.. until its not enough (which is the case im in).
