I So much depends on the chassis and driveline, anything not just right and it drops the estimated power output. So i don't think most calculaters are spot on.


The duration @ .050 is 284in / 300ex, .480" / .450" lobe lift. 108 / 116 CL. Don't know the duration @ .200". We picked up a little going from the 3X and a 1250 to the T/R with 2 x 1150 dominators. The 3X used to run 1 and 2 lean, porting improved it but did'nt eliminate it entirely. The T/R seems to have better fuel distribution. Agree on the chassis but in defense it seems to work well for the weight of the car, 1.37 on the back wheels and 1.32 when it's not, I'd be surprised if it made over 920 on a dyno.
