I was reading the post on going 9.90 at 3800 lbs and got to wondering what a B1 head motor would do with a flat tappet cam. Revs would probably need to stay at 6800 rpm or less, so lots of cubes would be needed. I am thinking a 535 cube 440 based stock block motor with B1 orginals and a Comp .650 lift 290 duration cam ought to make some serious power on the cheap? Would it make 800 hp done right? Tell me your real world experiences!
