72 LS5 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Sdl72Monte: Those are impressive numbers indeed. I think that's great, but I also think it can easily be explained. You have to be saving 200lbs alone with a small block with aluminum heads. I think the heads are the most key element in producing power. I didn't see your choice of cam, but it sounds like all the parts are working together for strong midrange power - perfect for a heavy car. So good heads, lighter weight, and less friction with the TH350 plus draglites, no AC all add up to good times at resonable cost. For me, I think aluminum heads will cut .2 off with just the weight savings (BBC iron heads are HEAVY). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Yes I agree fully. I am just partial to small blocks, well actully just horsepower. LOL. However I like the big block torque numbers I am gettin out of a small block with the weight savings and a resonable cost. FYI my dad runs only big blocks and swears by the adage that there is no sub. to cubic inches. Good luck with your efforts. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
