TF matching intake for the heads..Sinlge dominator-1250 cfm

Without a dyno sheet I would guess around 7400. Mine is a little smaller all around and likes around 7200.

How much HP do ya think?

leve your self some wiggle room and shift at 6800 until you feel you comfertable with the first 330.

Mine is only 580 inches. makes about 925 or so. Runs 8.35 @ 165 no juice. 1.80 glide and 3.89 gears on 32" tires. 2600 lbs. Cam is a little smaller.

We've got just about identical combinations....Im on a 33x10.5W...The guy i got the car from said it ran some .30s on motor but i wondered if it was the facts.....If itll run .30s it should wake up with those 2 guns on shouldnt it????

I'm with Lem, start at 6800 and work it up at 200-300 rmp incriments untill it stops gaining.

My 528 peaked at 7100 on the dyno with a single 4 and a new style TFS A460 manifold.

wooooops !!!

I'd shift at 200 rpm over peak horsepower

Henry I take it you were a small block guy? if so take it easy these are noting like a small block the torque is tremendous it will suprise you...I also am with Larry on this one start at 6800 and work up till you find the sweet spot.

I feel those are ALL good answers. In a #2600 car,it should run 30's w/o problem.

Had a few nice small blocks...Stepped into the BB relm with a 505 BBC n a ladder bar coupe...Ran some 8.6s on a 250 hit...Traded that car to this one and the motor went down on the first outing at the track. Just my luck...LOL...Hopin for some low 8's on nuts and maybe a high 7 on a lil whiff...really not one to spray more than 250 or 300 but would like to get it done with 150 or 200...While were talkn guys, its also gotta TITAN oil pump with a Jeff Johnson pan, how much oil pressure do you guys like to see @ idle and WOT ?

A Idle it is what it is..... WOT @ Peak RPM.... 60ish is plenty IMO

I was told 60 to 70 psi would be fine @ WOT....Jus wanted to get some other opinions...LOL Thanks for all the info guys....Any other things you guys could give advise on as far as the engine build, I have NEVER dealt with a BBF let alone one 605 inches...Any help is welcomed...

Got my pump back from Titan this week. GOOD LAWD they like those things....
