Its alive..

605 cu. with A460 heads and matching intake.. Camshaft is .848/.828 before lash and .284/.302 @ .50. 1375 CFM SV1 with 115 mm blade..Compression comes in a 13.8 to 1 and its n a 2650 car w/ driver...How much timing is a good place to start @ ? We've got it set on 30 degrees now jus to get it running...If any more info is needed jus let me know...Thanks guys, Henry..

Lot of engine you have there with alot of sweep volume being produced. I would think you wouldn't wander to far from where your at. It will probably be up to your application where the ignition timing will be best.

Thanks for the reply Dave, I plan on sprayin bout 300 on it as well.. This is my first BB combo and I'm really curious as to what it'll do on motor and nitrous..Any HP or ET estimates? Glide with 1.80s and 3.89's out back.. 32 inch tall tire..

i've ran mine as low as 24*with alky but 30 is about where its happy.

I agree w/Dave. Good place to start,then go from there. Good luck and let us know what it runs.

Thanks guys, I'll start there and jus add a degree till it slows down then... I'll def keep you guys posted on what it does.. Im hopn for some mid 8's on motor, but here n VA its always @ least 3500 ft above sea level..

What are you on a mtn. top

don't forget to retard the timing for Mr. Frosty !!

LOL...YES. 3500 is on a good day too..Bristol TN is the track I'm speaking of...

Absolutley, We've got that covered too... Thanks dfree..

Anyone with any power numbers? As i said this is my first BB and im lost with this thing...

Whats done to the heads? Which intake?

I got this thing n a trade.. TEA done the heads,(A460) talked to I think his name was Brian...Gave him the invoice number on the paperwork and he said the heads were flowing 460 range on the intake. It has the matching TF intake with portwork..

I would think 4 digits is entirely possible.

I was told by the engine builder that 1000 to 1050 wouldnt be unreachable... I jus put a new SV1 on top of it too..

Which fuel do you run?

I'm building a similar setup with a Pro Systems carb, I don't know if the SV1 will help or hurt power in you combo. Definitely post your results.

What makes you think a SV1 would hurt him?

Just seems that some combos really like them and some others like standard Dominators. Im not saying whether it will or won't. I'll be real curious to see how it runs. The combo I'm building now will have a 1600 cfm pro systems dominator so im as curious as anyone else.

The SV1 is a good carb, but it is finicky in some instances and they will tell you that themselves. That doesn't make it a bad carb, just that it can be kind of finicky on what it runs well on.

I'm not saying they are a bad carb. What I am saying is that they aren't always the best choice.

I gotcha... Patrick and I talked about it, and i was concerned as well... If it doesnt work out then he's gonna send me a dominator and I'll return the SV1.. He's confident we can get it to work...we'll see..

Starting at 30* and working your way up is a safe plan. With that compression ratio I suspect you'll wind up with about 34*.
