Expounding on what Randy has already said, we even had the 2 1250's on a 432" Boss 429, it worked and loaded @3000 Rpm but they got weird and hard to tune. I may test it vs. a single 4 haven't decided yet, do have a Mafia and a Ford Racing Single Plane to test, but the testing is a ways off right now.

But to directly answer your question, No 2 1050's are not too much on a specific drag engine.

Charlie had a 466 which peaked at about a hundred RPM higher with a pair of 1250's on a tunnel ram.

Both engines over 750 horsepower had well worked P-51 heads and made great torque all the way down to 3,000 RPM.

The only parameter which might have suffered was response.

On the engine Charlie and I did, the Dominators made in the range of 30 more HP from the hit all the way to peak (if I remember correctly) over a pair of well prepped 4150's....... Charlie was amazed. Keep in mind that was the complete range of the test not just peak.

I like building Engines and playing with them.

It will be in the 14:1 range & its a Factory Cast Crank Preped by Adney Brown.

Cam is in the 275ish I 286ish E @ .050 with .800+ lift, don't have the card in front of me, going from memory.

Anybody care to guess on the HP?

Here's a picture of the Intake.

My Guess is 835.

I'll look for the flow sheets......

IMO a long time in a drag application. I have one I've used is several builds from 625-750 hp and its still fine.

Lots of overlap and ford does have damn good metal as far as castings go.

Waiting for the Pistons to be delivered and on my next trip home I'll get the block to the machine shop.

Carbs are done sitting at a buddy's shop in Chatanooga, Heads are sitting at my place ready to go, cams been delivered, Charlie should have the epoxy done on the intake.

Mostly waiting on me to get a rotation home to get something done.

Got the pistons and the block is being machined
