Thats crank HP... also thats probably a bit high BUT you didnt give elevation and DA... I took a average to get those numbers.... might be closer to 500 hp

-65Valiant 2910Lb with a ironheaded smallblock. How much HP to run low 10s? What do you consider low tens. The Wallace Racing calculator says it takes 542 flywheel horse power to run a 10.20 at 2910 lbs.
1.33 60 ft,6.21 at 110.59 in the 1/8, pump gas small block,2950lbs,drag radials,mufflers and driven to track ...

The Wallace Racing calculator says it takes 542 flywheel horse power to run a 10.20 at 2910 lbs. I have found that the Wallace numbers tend to run higher than needed... by about 25 HP.... also I am using 10.0 as low 10s

That means I am putting less HP to the track than I thought. I was already about 30 hp short according to them.

I dont like the numbers either.. but it is what it is.. it only takes like 630 hp to run my numbers(8.90 at 152)

That is with driver included. I have a 340 at 640 HP and a RB with 720HP but the car has a 8 3/4. I dont think it will like a transbreak after thos engines. It had a nice 340 W-2combo but the hyd cam has gone flat! Picked up an original -70 crank yesterday
What brand/type for engine bearings? Fullgrove or 3/4?

Does 2910 lbs include the driver? If so that is a fairly light car. With what appears to be a pretty gutted early A-body, with a smallblock........and you guys think 2900lbs is light?.......Wow, some must have some real tanks........LOL!!! Monte
