My 1970 Chevelle SS has a 396 with the following specs. People keep asking me how much horsepower she makes? I just bought the car in August and don't know. What would you estimate it at?
-396 bored .070 over -9.7:1 compression ratio -rectangular port matched 990 heads -Speed Pro forged aluminum pistons -Comp Cams XR276HR cam, 224/230 duration @ .050 lift, .51/.51 lift, 110 degree lobe seperation -Edelbrock Performer RPM intake -Hooker 2" primary headers -Edelbrock 1806 650cfm carb Also, do you think the carb might be too small for the engine? I was thinking a 750-850 cfm would be more appropriate. Thanks, Mike
