off topic question

[4onFloor]

i know this isn't camaro related by you guys seem to be experienced so...
my friend just bought, and plans to race a late model on the weekends, he's in the process of putting it together and just got the motor not too long ago. he tells me it's a 358 chevy, i'm asuming 350 bored over? anyway the top end of the motor looks like trick flow parts, heads, intake etc. msd ignition with a dual feed car sitting on top but not sure. he says it was dynoed at a little over 500hp by the previous owner. well, i know pretty much nothing about late models so does that seem anywhere close to what a late model engine would put out? seems a little steep for a naturally asperated and non stroked engine, but like i said, i dont know shit bout late models. if he is right, i think i'm in the wrong business.

umm, i dont know about it being a 358. that would mean that its a 350 bored 50 over. thats not a commen size if anyone even does it. i could be wrong. ask him how much its bored over. if its 30 over its a 355, 40 over = 356, and 60 over=360. those are the commen over bore sizes for a 350. when you go 60 over thats about all you can get and its usualy not concided the best but thats what mine is.

as for it being dynoed at 500 thats posible. its very posible. 400 has become a normal amout of power from a 350 nowdays. i have seen many 350s around the 500 area. its probably not going to be the most streetable engine if thats what he is planning, but for a drag only car thats very posible. if you had more info on the cam and valve train it would be alot easier to say wether thats right or not. but like i said it is posible.

ya that's what i didn't get, i've never heard of a 358. i can tell you tho that it is or was a 350sb pre 86 anyway. oh and sorry for the confusion, it's a late model car for dirt track (giant monte carlo on a tube chassy) i dont know cam specs or compression i'll have to ask him, tho i doubt he knows either. i guess if he was up around 11:1 comp with 1:6 rockers he could get that much

[ridge_runner]

yea i agree, i also have a 350 bored 60 over, its still in pieces, but do you kno what kinda pistons he has? and compression, 358 is a weird number, i had another 350 that was also bored 60 over, puttin out around 400 hp. but the block was cracked, so anything possible

[ridge_runner]

i think it was close to 450, i was told around 458 to be exact but not sure

Now I've got an off topic question.
If your dog would follow you to hell and back, would that obligate you to do the same for him?

[ridge_runner]

haha, depends what you call hell

[Genopsyde]

No, the dog made his own choice. You, as an individual and an american citizen, have the right to make your own choices and follow your own paths in life. age old saying "if your friend jumps off a bridge, are you gonna do it too?"

[68chevelle]

is there water under the bridge?

[ridge_runner]

hell yea id jump off a bridge as long as theres water under it

[crapmaster4000]

Not too sure on his "late model" either. He sounds like a cocky bastard that just wants to make everyone belive that hes an automotive genius thats actually insecure about himself so he will manipulate everyone into thinking hes all that and a bag of chips!

[ridge_runner]

"late models" arnt all that different then the "newer models"

[Twin89s]

I am looking around 430 or so hp at the crank with stock style 461 heads... just a semi aggressive lunati bracket master II cam 0012

[68chevelle]

Twin89s... have you had your car dynoed? cuz that seems a little high.

[crapmaster4000]

What are the validity of your posts twin 89's, I would say you have the shits soo bad that you dont know where to put it.
