    How much power

     



    I am currently putting together a 406 and would like to get an approximate amount of HP I will have. The following is what I have.....

    MDS ignition
    Duel feed Holly 750 carb
    Team G Intake
    Brodix Track 1 heads (222cc runners, 68cc combust, 2.10/1.6)
    Crane Gold roller rockers with girdle
    Forged steel 4340 Eagle crank
    Eagle H Beam rods
    Mahle 13-1 11cc dome pistons
    630 lift mechanical roller cam
    Lower end all ballanced.

    Any information would be appreciated. It has cost me a lot of $$ and I am anxious to see what it would do. I can't wait to get her on the track but it will be a while from now as I am making mods to the 82 camaro.

    Thanks,

    Scott

    psychoward,
    What did you use to figure this out? Seems extremely high or else i have some serious chasis and cage work to do. I was only expecting around 600 or so but it was just a uneducated guess.

    Thanks,

    With the compression ratio and heads, with that induction package and a cam that will obviously work in the high rpm band I am picking this is a circle track motor, so probably around 520 to 535 HP. Oh nd with that roller cam and that much lift your spring pressure had better be a minimum of 200 Lbs seat pressure and run a rev kit as well to keep those rollers on the cam lobe at all times.

    That sounds an awful lot like my old set-up. If I remember right the dyno numbers came in real close to what Kitz said.

    Thanks to all for your input. I was hoping to have between 550 and 600hp so your estimates are close to my goal. I will post my track dyno results when that ever so elusive time comes.

    Thx
