HP Estimate
I have a 454 +.030, 9 1/2 compression, large oval port heads, Thumper 479 Comp Cam, Air Gap Dual plane manifold, 750 Double pumper and 3/4 length ceramic headman headers. 12 bolt with Eaton 3:42 gears. Can someone tell me about how much HP I can expect? Art Carr 4 speed auto as well.
Thanks in advance,
Frank

I'd recommend downloading and using the Virtual Engine 2000 software. It's free and will give you a pretty good estimate of what HP you'll be making. It's not as sophisticated as the pricier program that can cost up to $1,000+ but require more info such as cylinder air flow even tenth of an inch of lift as well as valve lift velocity. Let us know how it turns out!
