First I would like to say Thanks to Shaun for Spending time with me and a Few other Guys like Yellow94GT, instead of with his wife on a Sunday. I am very happy with his work and did an excellent job, thanks buddy!

I have a 10:1 331. Vic Jr heads, Victor 5.0 intake, XE274(limiting factor) 1 3/4 LT's full 3" Exhuast.

First pull put down something like 350hp and like 320TQ maybe a little more or less.

We ended up with 371RWHP and 360RWTQ peaking at about 5900RPM. Pretty smooth A/F from the first to last pull. With a bigger cam mostly on the intake side and upgrade the valve train maybe, I should be able to rev it higher and make some bigger numbers.

All in All, I wanted 370 got 370 so I am Happy!

I'll post the graph later.

pretty good numbers [patriot]

Posted by 2stangs69-91 (Member # 1951) on :

great numbers. Those Victor Jr heads are a great all around head. I think the 274 is awsome off the shelf cam there are alot of guy's with customs in there 331's not putting down those numbers. Now stuff a S-trim on that baby and hold on. [Big Grin]

Posted by silverLX (Member # 3207) on :

Good numbers! Besides changing the cam are you going to keep the setup the same or put on a power adder?

yeah i dont think he wants to put a blower on a high compression motor...NO to S-Trim and yes to NOS.....

Posted by 2stangs69-91 (Member # 1951) on :

hmmm I have 2 years on a flat top 331 with a SQ trim is there some problem with that? I might only be 9.8 to 1

Posted by BlownMach1 (Member # 5400) on :

i hope your tune is really good....any chance of your motor leaning out can hurt your motor...low compression-boost,,,high-Nitrous...just to be safe..i went through this with my Mach with my S-trim,its on its 3rd motor now with only 25K on it.i dont have it anymore but high comp.+hot air(no intercooler)= melted pistons.. [Big Grin]

snow boost cooler [worship]

..I did my homework before I put my 331 together. It has a bunch of miles on it now driven daily

Posted by 93PONY (Member # 60) on :

Glad you're happy with the tune buddy. [patriot]

Now go run some 11's already!

Posted by 98slowhoe 'FIFTYLX' (Member # 895) on :

Yeah on the street It feels GREAT! When I would romp on it and when I would shift it would bog from shift to shift. It doesn't do that now, it just gets up on it! The power is a lot more usable now. I probably will add a 100shot on it in the future no boost, don't feel like running snow cooler. But for now I really like how it runs!!

Hoping so man. Maybe might get some track numbers similar to a 365hp 342 that use to be at the track a few years back. Oh and its 371, hahhaa but yes mild mannered I could drive it to work everyday if I didn't have to tow pallets of tile.
