WOW that is bad dude 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏ok now let's think about a 440 small block. your big port w8s.dry sump and a sheet metal intake. And let's go north of an inch lift .1000HP all day...

I am in to W9 heads way less then that. I got the heads with seats and guides, shopped around for new Del West titanium vales, had to machine exhaust shorter. Had Brett cnc them and installed take off psi springs. Springs checked on checker and still check fine to this day. I have 3700.00 in my heads.

Brett, that's right about 10 ftlbs from 7000 to 8000 over what I had in 2007 with my 421 w8. And you maintained 5 more at 9,000. I realize you can't race dynos, but those strong torque numbers in the 7,000's will work well on the shifts.
Good work, now let's see how it performs in the car. I had terrible in car performance with my 421 imo. Would not 60' and never thought I was seeing 900 HP at the stripe. But, judging by the 1000hp estimate for a 2800# car running 163 mph. Maybe. Ken's sleek camaro ran 158 with 890hp using a clutch.

The man himself has spoke and has dyno sheets to back it up...and he said 15 to 30 grand sure you could spend more but why. I think this engine deserves its own thread maybe we can convince Brett to start one give us details I personally would like to thank Brett for the mountains of information he shared with me regarding LA small

I would say your engine would make about 810-840 on this dyno.
My engine right now on this dyno 750 HP car is 2915 lbs ready to go down track.
That has been 8.90s at 150mph.
And you are right can't race dynos
But your car shows me about the power I expect. 810-840 Funny you say that. I have a few dyno sheets of engines I have ran in my car. Can't remember who's dyno was first used for Bob's 358. Big numbers with no changes from EEI. Then APD sells a carb and goes Q16 showing 900 HP. Wouldn't run but 118 in the eighth in my car. My 440 was 850 HP and ran 118 with the wrong gear and converter. Made changes and it went 124. None have beat the 128 the 421 W8 went in decent air. This engine only had one opportunity of good air running 1/4 mile. That was Atco and I completely missed the setup. Air is everything. Easy for a guy to make a pass at sea level post numbers on net. Those 150 mph passes were at 2000' and above. Weird thing, car ran 150 at Martin, MI at 4,700'. Like I said Ken Swortz ran 158 with 880hp on the same dyno. They built his engine. Doesn't make sense to make the dyno happy when dynoing a customers personal build.

I think 408stroker went 128 in Texas air with a powerglide.

I think 408stroker went 128 in Texas air with a powerglide. This is true, but to be fair it was killer air for here. Can not believe nobody is inquiring about the W8 top end in the for sale section that produced these results.
