the beginning stages of rebuilding my 401. I got the forged
pistons from
speed pro L2380F-040, i will have edelbrock
heads,headers, either the air
gap or possibley a torker, 800CFm
carb,3000 rpm stall possibley a 232-242
538in 563 ex anyway will
this
combo finally get my Gremmy in the
12's? 3:73 posi,,
it seams every thing i do to my current 401
just wont make it go
faster,,, maybe my cam is too big? stall is too
little? I cant drive?
my junkyard engine can only do so much. i would just
like to get this
next one right.The car weighs 3280 with me in it.. my
current 1/8
mile
times are about 8.9 sometimes better if i let it sit
awhile(too
boring).
So if anyone wants to chime in or has a
similair combo i wouldnt mind
hearing times and opinions(desktop dyno
combo) before i blow the
other $3000

Rob,are you way up in thar hills as far as elevation?hows the cam dialed
in?and maybe going to a 4.10 gear will help you and you'll lose streetability
going with anything bigger than a 3K stall and does the carb feel like its
bogging any?where are you located and what has been your best e/t so far and
maybe we can help better.
