mr.yuck i was going with original post horsepower for the money. to me 2200 or 4000 dollars for a half second is pretty expensive. between big block and small block good quality parts about same price then add 4000 dollars just to keep up with big block just ain't cheap.give me half the supercharger cost with big block and it will blow the doors off the small block

---

My buddy with a 406 small block and a liitle procharger F-2 on pump gas and 15 pounds of boost made 711 hp to the rear tire. Figure thats 100 hp in drivetrain losses and 150 hp to turn the supercharger so thats almost a 1000 hp on pump gas and a small block lets see your combo for a n/a big block on pumpgas that makes that kind
of steam!!

---

Only been to track once. Blew the tube off the carb at 800 to 900 feet went 10.73 at 88 mph. It ran a 6.11 to the 660 so it's hailin the mail. Oh did I say it was on 17 in drag radials too. It a protouring car with big brakes and all.

what did it run I've seen plenty of 1000hp cars on pass time running 10's

think he is adding in the 150 horse it takes to run supercharger back into motor

Thats pretty simple the hp the blower is killing should never be added back in, the blower ate it up it's gone. The car is making 711 at the wheels so its a 820 to 850 at the flywheel.

budget build 550hp how much $$ are you going to have in the small block.how much $$ are you going to have in the hemi.and then how much money will you have in a 383 400 or 440.

---

right, nobody said you can't make 550 w/ a SB, but it can be done much easier and cheaper w/ a BB. I didn't add Hemi's because hey are too expensive for most. I've know guys that took a lower milage 440 apart in the grage, re-ring, quick hone, new t-chain, cam, clean up the heads, reassemble add used intake, headers, 750DP and run mid 12's in a heavy B-body. (BTW that's 11's in an A-body) Not going to do that w/ a small block. Not as cheap anyway.

I think some of you need to do a actual price
comparison to see whats what... take a head and price
the same head in both BB and SB and do the same for
the rest of the parts to see what the price difference
really is(dont take a cheap 440 part to a expensive
SB part... try to make it the same part)... yes I
know I can buy the big dollar heads for a SB and have
to get all the pricey stuff thats needed to go with them

ask zippy im sure he can let us know what demand mopaR has for aftermarket blocks!

---

We almost always run out of RB Wedge blocks before all of the other ones They fly off the shelf compared to the others.

Gen 3 hemi is a pretty good bang for the buck at a certain power level also....

Each has it's upsides and downsides, personally I like them all. I mean, c'mon now...any of them can get the job done.

Weather you chew up the horsepower off the front of the crank or the back with trannys etc the motor still needs to make that horsepower. So that motor see's approx 960 HP worth of stress on the crank rods pistons block.

---

It may see 960 worth of stress but we know stress
doesnt make HP... the engine makes about 820 HP at
the crank

You are saying your friends car ran a 6.11 in the 1/8 mile before he had a problem further down the track. That converts over to a 9.52 1/4 mile time. Unless his car is super heavy I think his 800+ HP car appears to be a DOG. No wonder you guys don't like to show your time slips.

As stated on other post the car is a protouring car running 17in tires 6 piston bear brakes 13 front 12 in the back full leather interior was just a feature car in a big mag runs on pump gas should go 9.50s at the track in street trim and is a dog? What does that make your sons car a super slug? 10.50s in a car set up to go race.
