Hey i have talk about my 1966 chevy truck before and i was wondering what ya'll thought about power it would be making here is a mod list.

355 block
9.5:1 compression
Holly intake 1000-6500rpm
600cfm carb
Forged pistons and rods
Stock HEI ingnition
Carb plate nitrouis system 75hp
RV camshaft http://store.summitracing.com/partde...=KeywordSearch
2500 stall
Turbo350
12bolt rearend
3:73 gears in the rear

An also the truck weights right at 4000lbs i was also going to see if i could not get a guess about what it might run 8th mile or quarter mile it doesn't matter i am probaly going to run it this weekend for the first time 8th mile i was just going to see what i should shoot for thank you guys i know its a strange question to ask but i thought i would ask any way.

I've seen lots of "RV" cams that were labeled "RV" cams but had different grinds. What are your cam specs?

This my camshafts specs or close any way.

That's a VERY small cam. Who recommended it or how/why did you pick it ?

Here's a list of Erson's offerings for the SBC...

When i bought the engine that was the camshaft that was in it. It will be awhile but i plan on changing it, i just want to know what kind of power ya'll think i should get now.

Maybe someone has a software program they can utilize to give you an idea of the power this motor will generate. It won't be much because of the relatively short cam.

Ya i kn ow i am thinking it will be right around 330hp-400hp and 350torque-410 i dont know some thing like that.

I doubt if it will make over 300 hp, about the same or a little better torque.

Oh ya i ment with the new camshaft i am going to get the one you recommended this http://www.cranecams.com/?show=brows...tType=camshaft
I already order it from summit and also a 3inch collecter slip fit so i can clamp it all and through a 3inch h-pipe slip fit in to 3inch Flowmaster exhaust ya it should be here friday or monday of next week that should give me some power mabey over 300hp dont you think, after awhile i am getting heads then i should have a stout little 66 street/strip drag truck i probely wont get those heads my friend probely will he wants the truck and i cant aford it any more and so he will pay good money for it so. But i dont know we will see.

I will still have my 69 camaro so it wonte be to bad for awhile any way till i get another project to work on.

hey speed.sounds like that truck is coming along well. if i was to guess what your time in a quarter would be with what you have .i would say a low 14 second with the seventy five shot all the way down the track...torino.

With this combo I would say it would be lucky to run low 15's in the 1/4 mile.
