  • Today we are running a small block chevy 400 on the dyno. This is a strong street engine that will be a lot of fun to cruise around in considering how much torque this engine makes.

    Torque curve is incredible!! Flat as a pancake and really carries Im impressed using the small head
    Yrs back I wanted to do a ca legal 400 TPI build for my then 89 Vette .
    I caught so much flack hearing "gee a 180 head is too small"..proof here it works.
    Planned on a 213@050 HR on a 112, and heavily port afterarket TPI pieces myself
    Was hoping for 350hp 500 lbs torque and truly pass smog.

    I'd love to see a 400 build that focused on "off idle" torque and HP with a 5000 RPM red line. Basically a stock 400 blue print with a zero Deck, street pistons, heads, 9.0:1 compression (cheap gas) RV Cam, Q-Jet and iron exhaust manifolds.
    I saw a Ford video (400M ) making 375 HP and 450+ lb ft of Torque idle to 4500 RPM. Tow a mountain, have enough power to pass and get better fuel mileage towing a camper.

    Sure would be interested in the cam specs and compression. The cam sounds fairly large for a street motor.

    Love the combo! I'm building a 406 with 180cc afr's. I'm leaning towards comp xe276hr cam for better vacuum and lower rpm. Any idea where that would put my torque/hp numbers in comparison to the xe288 cam you tested?

    • @pageracingengines
      @pageracingengines  Рік тому

      Hard to say on the exact numbers but I would guess around 460-470hp and 480-490 ft lbs and it will occur earlier in the rpm range.

      @pageracingengines  Рік тому +2

      It was 10.25:1 on the compression. A single plane would work well, it would just move the peak power number up in rpm but also lose a little torque down low.

    Keeping it NA what can you do to reach 1000hp ?

    • @pageracingengines
      @pageracingengines  Рік тому +1

      It would take a lot of modifications to reach 1000hp NA. Basically start over completely with everything. Need a lot more airflow so bigger heads and intake, would need a much larger cam and more compression to match the heads.
