i would like to know what you get after mods.
i run a 350 4 bolt mild crane cam edelbrock
performer intake 600cfm edelbrock carb hypereuteck pistons
9.5 to1 compression and a ballanced engine and malory
electronic ignition the engine runs and revs fast and smooth
its the best i have run ever in a small block,i run pump gas
a get 240 hp.
I found out today what mods we get to run next week.From stock we can replace the:

Heads: Bow Tie cast irons
Edelbrock Vic. Jr.s 66cc's Aluminum,
or another Edelbrock, but forgot which kind it was.

Valve Sizes

Compression ratio changes due to different gasket thicknesses and heads.

Intake System:
Edelbrock RPM new and old models,
Single plane manifolds, and a holly dual plane manifold.

Carbs:
Edelbrock carbs with a CFM ratings of 600, 650, 700, 733, & 1100.
As well as Holley Demons in those CFM ratings.

Exhaust System:
Small tube headers, large tube headers, with or without Flowmaster Mufflers on them.

Camshafts:
Hydraulic or Solid lifter CAMs with different types of lift and duration.

Rockers:
Aluminum roller rockers, stock 1.5:1 rockers, or stock 1.6:1 rockers.

So there is the list of things we can replace and do to the engine to get it's optimum Hp on the dyno. The goal is to get over 335Hp which has not been done at our school for about 4 months now. I would like to be the group that does it! With all the great tips I get from this forum and all the hard work we are putting into this engine hopefully we will surpass the mark.
thanks again to everybody who has responded.

Also one more thing. I heard from a friend of mine today that if you put dry ice on the intake manifold for a couple hours before you get on the dyno it will make the air going into the cylinders denser so that your Hp's will go up by about 15. Do you think that this will really work? We are allowed to do it and are also allowed to use velocity stacks with our air filter. Also does the engine oil eat the Hp if we are using 20w-50?

Thanks!
