You'll go way past with just the head and cam change.
I figure the Vic Jr for about 525 FWHP, then use a different head.

Is this street or race? May have some tuning to get the big 4500 carb to cruise well. A 1 7/8 or 2 inch header size would help too.
Re: How much more 427 SBF
thats a lot of cam for that little compression. I would personally just use the intake you have, port match it and have some plenum work done because to run right the 2828 will require quite a bit of work. the super victor can support 700hp.

I also have a Holley 950. I may use it if the 1050 is too much. I like the 2828 over the SV. I have both. Yes there is a lot of plenum work to be done in the 2828. My goal is to make 650+ FWHP.

I
I like the 2828 on that cubic inch. Plenum work isnt too bad to do in my opinion. Good luck. I think youll meet your goal.

I did a 4.125 x 4.0 sbf. 225 AFR's untouched, 13.5 comp, 2828, 1050 dominator. 266-280 cam.
Has went 6.0 115@2950lbs with a bit of throttle stop on the hit for traction.

He is a serious bracket racer. It shifts on a timer but generally between 6600 and 7000rpm.Autopart101 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 07, 2018 5:26 pmThats great numbers from that combo!! What rpm did you shift?
I think it needs shifted higher but he is scared. Hope to have it on the engine dyno this winter. We ran out of time to before racing started.
I Plan on playing with the belt drive and seeing if we cant calm it down a bit down low and run it up higher to get in the 5's. It has a best 60ft of 1.25.

He won't shift it higher but will pull it out of the car to rev it higher on the dyno ?

I feel Mark may be right above to point out that the heads were most limiting on your previous combo. Shafiroff says they'll send you a dyno sheet with the linked engine (427W) showing 630FWHP on a combo that is essentially your old setup with the addition of AFR220's (and open header exhaust we'll assume.) Their cam is only slightly larger than your old cam.Autopart101 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 07, 2018 3:24 pm I also have a Holley 950. I may use it if the 1050 is too much. I like the 2828 over the SV.

Re: How much more 427 SBF
All these BIG single plane racing intakes (especially the 4500 carb flange versions)
have GREAT potential for use with 2 4 barrel carbs on a carb adapter.
More power, much better drive-ability, lower cost. Much more tuneability.
Big 1300-1500 cfm max capacity, much more progressive.

Re: How much more 427 SBF
Yes the Vic jrs are the weak point. The SV would work just fine. I just think the 2828 will do well on this size Windsor.Cougar5.0 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 07, 2018 6:43 pmI feel Mark may be right above to point out that the heads were most limiting on your previous combo.
