Better get some videos!! I've watched your idle and dyno videos too many times. so jelly.
400 RWHP NA build
- Thread starter poisoned apple
- Start date
Yes, I'd like to see some 1/4 track slips with it as well. Just be nice to see what it could lay down even if its not actually built to be a drag queen for your use.
Regardless it should be fun reading and watching.
Lots of useful information here. So lets no ruin the intent of the thread!

Will do! I think I can at the end of April. What do y'all think it'll do? I was thinking 11.9x
What's your altitude?
An experienced driver on good tires and launch at HRP or Track somewhere near sea level it should roll 11's pretty easily.
There is a lot to consider on the drag strip but it has power enough to run way down in the 11's if traction, conditions and driver mod warrant it.
The slips will tell the story. Get it to hook, 60 ft and hit those gear shift points!!
Good luck and we'll await the outcome.

12 feet lol
One day! Maybe soon
I envy you 5300 ft sucks lol
Forget the 1/4 mile times, let's see what she can do around the track!
Installed the bump steer kit this weekend... Attempted to align and measure bump steer... Very tedious.
Texas World Speedway t-minus 5 days!!

Thats a pretty wild idle. Sounds great!
You like that Chris? LOL!!
I said advance the cams and the reason for that was shape of the powercurve, nothing more. The ability to do so would increase avg power over the upper 3000RPMs of the powerband while reducing peak and power after peak very little.
If proper consideration was given the to lack of PTV clearance the cams could be advanced. However, the pistons should have had reliefs in the first place.
I can show you a pump gas engine that makes 390+rwhp. Many engines have made similar or more power but not everyone posts on SVTP or the other forums for that matter. Making big, n/a peak power is not hard with 4Vs as their heads even in stock form flow great. A friend recently, after a cam timing change I suggested made 480rwhp @7800 with totally stock 03/04 heads. Hell, the heads still have the factory valve job. A simple opening of the valve seats would put this car over 500rw.
I only pass on information gathered from first hand experience over the last 15 years with mod motors. If something worked, or didn't work for me I let people know. They can use this information as they please, but don't tell me something won't work when it did.
Brandon's engine had ported 03/04 heads, an FR500 intake and cams with .480 lift. How does this differ greatly from the OPs setup?

Thanks for the input.
I'll be over 500 soon, once I'm able to spin it higher. And also I could instantly "gain" numbers wise, if I just put it on a Dyno jet. I'm not done yet!
As you can see from the graph I posted, dynojets don't always produce higher numbers.
Sure, I would be skeptical to say ALWAYS about anything, but it seems most generally they read at least 10% higher.
Not to derail this thread, but are these types of numbers possible with a b head cobra? i always see higher HP N/A builds with C heads.
Because it's easier with C heads. But sure you could do it with B heads.
Not without very high compression.
