My sbc and odd powerband
i have asked around and have many mixed answers on this. just brain pickin seeing what you guys can come with. im new and reading the threads on this site you seem to know quite a bit,
I have a 77 sbc 350 in my rod that weighs close to 5500.
Completely stock bottom end. Bore everything.
It has a comp cam 220 duration and 5.26 lift
GM 202 heads
i believe they are stock rockers
built holley 650 double pumper done by Avanti performance. (they build a lot of circle track cheater carbs)
edelbrock rpm performer intake (not airgap)
accel dist. and supercoil
Backed with a th350 that has a b and M kit and new torque converter(believe its stock)
and a 4.10 rear
in neutral engine revs right up and idles back down very smooth.
When on the gas it takes off right off the line but then seems to sit down until around 3700 where it takes off again. not really bogging or loss of power but just an odd power range. it just doesnt have what i believe it should.
I have had people tell me i need a bigger intake due to the large cam and head that i am running. What do yall think about that set up and anyways you would improve it.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
