Mo,
That is a nice motor. It should work well when you get it all together. What are the internals (rods, crank, pistons)?

How much boost were you pushing on the 350? Whatever the amount, it will be less with the AFR210s and the new cam, but power will definitely be up.

I have maxed out the SC (pushing against max impellor speed) on my combo, and I saw just shy of 15psi. I then went after the plumbing and feel that there is 4 psi in the SC ducting. We will see.

Looks good.

Aaron

Very nice,
How are the new Rhoads? I used a set of the old style ones and tore them out after 500 miles, they made way to much noise but reading about the new ones they sound promising. Have you ever used them before? If so what did you think?

Hi Aaron,

I was hitting 13 pounds at about 5500 on my 350. So my guess as you were also saying, I'm hoping for 8 pounds.. I'm probably running out of blower... The dyno sim as giving me about 630 hp / 722 torque... Only a true dyno will say... HEH...

The internals are DES 4340 I beam rods and pistons are Lunati 's 9.7 @ 74 cc head. The Crank is a Eagle 4340 nitrided...

Mo
