Done testing. It's prep time!

I agree with the RPM.. I'm a SB guy .. but if the torque has a wide band
and is up in the rpm it will run stronger with less gear... but if it doesnt
have the torque you HAVE to go with the RPM... my peak torque on my
SM is at 6400 rpm and I shift at 8200.. if I had more cam it would be 9000+

Wow 9000+ that's getting spinning 4sure

Well I've been beating my junk to death most of the summer. Went 9.65@139 last time out on same tune up I used in 2012 and was going 9.90,s with. So I got a little more out of her by refining gearing and the tune up. Heading out for one last day July 4th weekend and then up on stands. Change all the fluids and go over every nut and bolt and electrical connections. Time to switch to prep mode!

Hope to check out your ride at Drag week have a 78 Malibu 427 SB don't 60' like yours but does run a good number but mind is a lot lighter 3400 w driver

Mine is still gaining 10 HP for every 100 RPM over 7500 I shift at 8100 just because LOL

420 CFM at .900 lift 412 at .700

Those numbers are cute little 'ol things ain't they. Gotta love small small block stuff. Me, I like a big lazy inefficient big block. Just add power steering, power brakes, power windows and tunes and you have a real street car. Slow but comfy.

I like Slimbo's attitude, go fast, in style, and tell the world. I gotta work on that.
