what kind of hp gain

looking @ putting 2 1250 dominators with tfs intake on my motor what kind of hp gain will this add i know it's just a ruff guess.thanks eric

If you have an all out deal, I would guess 60-75 HP

Eric,

You will need to tell us a whole lot more about your combination, in order to get a somewhat valid answer.

As Curt said, if you have an all out big horsepower engine, making an honest 1,070 or so HP, then you might see +60 Hp more. No guarantees on that either.

thanks eric

Heck ya, thats what I'm talking about...............


I'm in for 60+

i know it's money well spent but i've never had this thing on the dyno. just never had the extra 500.00 to do it. do u think 1070 is all it makes on 1 1350cfm carb with single plane motorsport intake?

so say it is 60 hp it's going to cost me around 500.00 to put tunnel ram on it thats 8.3333 dollars per 1hp gain thats not to bad??eric

IMO $8.33/1 is a crazy good bargain.

However, as Charlie stated, there is no guarantee that you'll get 60.

If you haven't had the money to put that engine on a dyno and tune it; then you'll NEVER have the money because it just doesn't seem to be any kind of priority for you.
You will probably move forward spending THOUSANDS of dollars on parts which you GUESS would work but never actually know for sure where you were and what exactly helped and what didn't ...
Just my oppinion here; seen it hundreds of times over the years.

Usually it's because a "tinkerer" wants to continue tinkering and when you "know for sure" then there is nothing to continue timkering with.

I say take the money and put the engine on a dyno, and gain hp there.. instead of foolin with the dual tunnel contraption

You obviously don't know Randy. He's hardly being "a dick". He is however telling you the truth. For $500 you could find gains on the dyno that would be cheaper than a sheetmetal intake and additional carb. It's a shame you need to resort to name calling and can't handle good advise. But as I say in my sig, perception is reality. I guess that's the way you see it. Your loss.

He wouldn't talk to a man that way face to face. If he did, he would get his ass kicked alot. Its pretty easy to be a dick on the computer.

I've read Randys' statement several times and I'm at a loss as to why you're upset with it. Maybe he didn't sugar coat it, but he did speak the truth. Sorry you can't see it. Have a nice season.

I agree.....I am sorry but I find Randy's words pretty much the truth, not what you wanted to hear but the truth just the same.... if you have built and dynoed and worked on as many engines as he has you see it all, from missmatched parts to being a tightwad and not wanting to spend a dollar on something you need, but spending it on some Bling Blng item......that shines....



Randy

It's outbursts like that , that is going to have all our good help, not log on, your best bet Mr. Addiction, is go ahead, and put your two carbs on, and go racing,

Hopefully, mine will start as soon as my engine is back together and in the car

Since when did someones priorities dictate whether or not they could ask for information on this or any other forum. The reason he asked the question here was for that exact reason, there are many who have had the experience with a BBF 385 series motor. I have never seen a picture of his ride, so I dont know how much bling he has, but base on the build sheet, he spent some big money to get where he is. I can attest to the fact that I too have built many race motors without putting them on the dyno. I would be willing to bet 100% of the other shade trees on here will say the same thing. Eric, I hope that you are succesful with your endevors even if you dont dyno it. If it were mine, I'd put the tunnel ram on it.


In case you havent noticed, I like bling and big motors with tunnel rams.

me..sorry eric

You're here ASKING how much power you will gain or lose by using a certain other part on your engine than what you now have ... yet, you don't know how much you have now so, how is anyone supposed to tell you how much something will gain or lose without just guessing.
If you can't take the heat of the truth then that is your prerogative but, I'm going to say those truths whether you or anybody else "likes" it or not.
Have a "Merry Christmas" ...
