So people keep asking me....

"How much horsepower does that thing have?"


I really have no idea. Didn't have a number in mind when it was built. 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!

595 hp - 580 ft lbs

just say it`s faster than cooters hound

Take it to the track and find out.

625HP

What's it run and what's it weigh

It COULD have 600hp and run 12's. or it COULD have 450hp and run 11's.
Dyno numbers are great, but don't mean much going down the track. Just tell people you never had it dynoed.

I'd guess low 600 hp range.



And smile secretively, then wink

I will tell some people how much HP the motor in the car made if I have those results and trust the dyno.
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

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.

I've never taken it to the track so don't have any numbers.




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.

I think I've just seen my new go-to answer.

I suppose you could get it dyno-tested and then you'd know for sure.

I usually smile really big and say 325 horsepower. After all, it *is* a four barrel!

Will answer that question
