^^^^^Man that's a TALL tire!
What gear are you running with that combo?

its got a 4.88 in it. always wanted a big tire car....

 

Damn some of you gave gotten some good numbers out of these little 355s

Mine is a pump gas deal
40 over 350
Gmpp 1053 steel crank
Scat 5.7 h- beam rods
Je/srp pistons 2 valve relief flat tops
Edelbrock performer rpm head milled to 54cc ( 20 year old heads ).
Crane hyd roller 232/242@.050 .555/.558 lift 112 lsa
Pro products hurricane manifold
850 q series carb
Msd ignition
10.5:1 compression
Th350 with 3800 stall
Moser 9" with spool and 4.10s
255/60/15 mt drag radial ( 27x10.5x15 )
Car weighs 3200 pounds

My motor runs on pump gas , I've been a best of 11.50 @ 117 on motor and 10.90@125 on a 175 shot. Im hoping those numbers change as I had found some issues with the rear suspension on my car , which I'm currently taking care of. Also had the motor refreshed and found some issues with it as well that where totally my fault when I first assembled it.

Wonder if I could also improve in the head and cam department , but wanted to fix the rear suspension problem first , then see what kind of improvement I made.

How do you get a 350 to be 10.5:1 compression with 54cc chambered heads? Are you using dished pistons?
Flat tops would be about 11.5:1 w/54cc chambes.

 

save your cash build a bigger motor, in the mean time put a 200 shot on it and play ,you will get more out of it

 

^^^^^I AGREE ^^^^^WHAT HE SAID: )

 

AND YOU TOO! HIT THE NEWBIE THREAD NUMBNUTS! :smt097

 

^^^^^GROW UP STUPID! ^^^^^^

 

hhott71, there are a lot of configurations that could achieve it. 85cc chambers with the piston way in the hole (just saying) , haven't done the math but you get the idea.

 

My brothers car went 10.78@122 with a 355 10.3comp with Afr 195 heads and a Bullet solid FT car weighs 3080 sitting at the line

 

Hit the newbie thread you PHUCKSTICK!!:smt097

 

Ziptie, was that on motor ?

 

Rb85TA yes that was on motor th350 trans with 5000 conv. 4.11 gears and a proform 850 it pulled a 1.48 60ft

 

NICE! ^^^^^GO LIL BUDDY.....GO! haha, seriously though that's pretty sweet for a little 355 & 3100 lbs.

 

My current setup is 355 withforged internals 6 inch rods.
Old school pro action iron 180s that have been ported.
I have never been real impressed with the heads.
A solid flat tappet cam with around .610 lift.
The heads have been shaved quite a bit and I'm not sure what the chamber is but I do run race gas.

My plan is to step up to a cnc head.
Looking at the afr 210s because they flow decent for the money.
Going to go with a solid roller cam.
The compression ratio will drop due to the chamber volume.
Probably allow for pump gas.

The old combo went a best of 11.96@114
3200 pounds
4500 stall, foot braked
4.11 gear, 28 inch tire.

My question is can I gain a second in et?

My goal is 10.9x on motor.
Or should I just wait and build a 383 or 406?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Streetability is not really an issue.
I'm not against high rpm either.
I only want to do this to the 355 because that's what I have.
I like the 210s because they would work on a bigger motor in the future.

Any thoughts?

My thoughts?, you really want MY THOUGHTS?

HIT THE PHUCKING NEWBIE THREAD! :smt097

 

Gezzzz phucking Christ!

Does anybody follow forum rules anymore?

 

Seeing as he started the thread & he's a newbie..... doesn't that make this a newbie thread, ?
So either give some helpful insights or phhukOFF!

 

LMFAO! !!!!!

 

I'm guessing that the" newbie" thread would be in the tech thread, ? Can't find a thread titled newbie. ....anywhere! LOL

 

I've got AFR 235s on my 370. Didn't change anything else in the engine,
But I did change to a glide from a th350. Same 8" converter stalls at 6500-6600. Truck picked up 2.5 Teths from my old Eldebrock Victor Jr heads. I've got LGM 1.65 shafts on it. Comprestion dropped slightly due to the larger chamber. About 1/2 point.
Cam is
292@.020
262@.050
185@.100
.690 lift on 108.
I know the cam is not optimal but it works for now.
Those heads are what Jermey at AFR suggested. I do plan on building a 414 or larger engine in the near future. I do not believe they are to big for my 370.

I've got off the shelf JE pistons no problems with valve clearance.

 

Do you think that they may be too small for the next bottom end?

 

Never mind taa, I see it now. 2850# looked right over it.

 

at least if they are they can be opened up
