Re: I Need Help With A Math Problem
GUMP if I can get Dumbo to move in 60' a little quicker it will be ok. At the BG Sports I'm going to try a set of ported heads and a SS intake to see if I can wake him up.

Re: I Need Help With A Math Problem
If I remember correctly, the 350/360 as rated at 390 or 400 HP back when we raced on street tires, around 1973. I remember that because nobody was racing them because of the HP rating. The '69 Z/28 302 is rated at 309 HP now and to race a '70 Z/28 which is rated at 320 HP, there is 110 LBS difference between the cars with the '70 having 48 cubic inches more with the same engine manifold, carb and heads. It's one of the biggest loss of power than any other engine combo.

Re: I Need Help With A Math Problem
Casey I didn't bother checking, but I'm pretty sure there was a difference in the intake lobes on the cam between '69 Z-302 and '70 Z-350. I think it was around .030 less on the 350.
Might be a little harder to feed those few extra Cu in. Still soft...IMHO

Re: I Need Help With A Math Problem
Hi Jim! I hope all is well! I'm pretty sure that IF someone were willing to pay enough money for a set, a set would appear. BUT, if they're "not legal out of the box" then why are they legal? ;-)

If this bothers you this much, why not go to the source instead of an open debate forum? And Happy Birthday!?

Re: I Need Help With A Math Problem
Brett.
I would really like to know who decided to go outside the rules and favor one or two racers. So do you think I would get any kind of answer asking NHRA, but I will try. Thanks so much for the birthday wishes. We hope to see y’all soon. Safe travels and good luck. |
