So I ask the all knowing..what's your guesstimate/WAG? 451 400 block/440 crank Indy-1's unported 11.4 to 1 static compression 262 .050 duration .620 lift solid roller Indy 4500 intake with 950 HP Am I forgetting anything? Thanks in advance!

Just tell people you never had it dynoed. 526 cubes of angry wedge, pushbutton shifted, 9 passenger killer!

I have also said "not enough" more than once As already pointed out, any bad component can slow the car down below what other cars run with the same parts and power at the track the same day Last edited by Cab_Burge; 03/04/17 11:28 PM.

If your happy with it, it runs good, then it really doesnt matter. Have fun with it. RIP Monte Smith Your work is a reflection of yourself, autograph it with quality.

Originally Posted By CompWedgeEngines If you didnt care to dyno it when you built it, then it shouldnt matter now either. If your happy with it, it runs good, then it really doesnt matter. Have fun with it. Definitely happy with it...I didn't dyno it because I didn't have a goal HP wise and trying to find time was difficult. I was just curious and don't want to be the guy with stock small block with an intake and headers quoting 700hp 🙄. Anyway, I figured some people on the board may have had a similiar engine setup that they actually took the time to dyno theirs.
