Instead of HP numbers, lets hear about the track results... Steve

Seems more like a lobbying effort to portray the A-460 as far superior to a 24° Chevy like a Brodix Head Hunter or something. Sort of like a NASCAR Whine festival.

Nobody want's to show proof of it's existance let alone the car or where it races.

They were also say'n that a Profiler deal with a cast single intake could go north of 1400hp, but i have noticed that all of these claims are from the chevy crowd, it's hard to believe their WAY better at building BBF's then BBF guys.

the air gets a little thin way up here in canada if you have a chevy

 

[Inbred-jed]

Not hard at all....Ive built two A460 headed engines that made over 1300 hp....I also own a unicorn and a fire breathing dragon

 

[Larry_Williams]

I almost forgot. Just a warning to the chevy racers in Ontario there is a real deal A headed monster about to make an appearance this summer. beware the white mustang with the red maple leaf !!!

 

[Bobby Brown]

All the horsepower numbers are nice but, I like to see the torqu numbers to see what the engine will do out of the HOLE. By the way I like to set back and listen to guys talk about how much HP their engines make knowing that most of them can stretch the truth a little. Around Spartanburg, SC we love to see 632 Chevy's have to put NOS on their cars to keep up with our Fords with no spray.Example: Ray Rheems had the only Ford in a quick 8 shootout at Greer Dragway ( NO NOS) and won. The other seven were Chevy's with all the NOS they could take. Will let you know what our 618 A-headed engine can do after this Sat. test.

Paul, where can I get more info or get in touch with the guy with the blue '68 Mustang. That car belonged to a good friend of mine, he sold it to a guy in Australia a few years ago. It had a nitrous 598 with old Motorsport A heads and a Lenco when he sold it, what trans is in it now ?

Thanks,
Paul

Here it is just before he sold it, it had went a best of a 6.99 @ 198 and I'll check, but I think that was at around 2650 lbs.

overly optimistic dynos?

X2,I have a chassis dyno, and if i sneeze on the weather station, it can move the corrected numbers around.

 

[crittersf1]

They are both C-heads, no A-heads

572" backup & 604"

700+" A441 Hemi's next

Mark

I know, I'm an IDIOT!

[Mark Laczo]

Ok i guess it's safe to say no one over here has seen a 530 (ish) A460 motor with a cast single intake make 1250hp, Me either.

I'll drink some beer tonight and my 472, w/a460 heads makes 1250hp. hehehe...cheers..
