DREAMIN TA 2

[Panteracer]

My engine dynoed 440 at the wheels of the car
of the previous owner... not too crazy of a cam but
round ports, hydraulic roller, shafts, single plane
Not enough for him so at maybe 500 miles he decided
to sell it and get a big block chevy...
Perfect for my auto trans, 10 bolt car cruiser.... I have
enough high hp cars so this will be fine for me without
breaking things

I drove Camaro X on Power Tour with basically a stock LS7 and headers/tune. So about the same power level as you have. It was a ball, plenty of power. Surprised me as I tend to like a LOT of power lol. That's a great street engine you have Bob.

Going to put cats on a pypes exhaust system and
maybe my wife will ride in one of my cars.. I bought
her a 78 Ta after we first got married... she may even
drive it... funny as she dated a few guys with stick shift
Vettes but won't even go in my 69 sidepipe headered vette

Go figure

I have Hedman 28150 ceramic headers on my car... had them on there for 15 years now and have never had any issues with them hitting speed bumps or anything like that FWIW.

Ty,
My engine has round port edlebrocks....the center
ports are separate from each other and spaced farther
apart... Factory Round port manifolds coming any day now

I have had more fun with 3-400 whp cars than I have with anything more. Obviously, everyone is different in their desires or skill levels. For me, I'd rather have a good, manageable power curve and car than something wild.

Sounds like a great engine, Bob. Should work very well for you.

Finally finished the front Alt and Ps brackets and
mocked up the Pypes 2 1/2" exhaust system that
fit nicely to the Ram Air Manifolds

Wiring and fuel system next
