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????

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

Larry T's name is Lem also ?

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.
