I can’t imagine the AFR’s wouldn’t get you to your target power level on that type of build.
Just use the saved $1500 towards other parts.

Hopefully the power goals are realistic, otherwise you could end up with something that might not be what is needed for a street machine. It takes torque to move a 3600# car, so if heads and cam are chosen to reach an unrealistic peak HP goal, the lower end of the rpm range could suffer.

Racing a NA NHRA stocker should be mandatory before any posting.

Good luck making a conventional port too big for a 632. The best thing you can do is have a huge head and a big cam. It moves peak torque to where the biggest street tire might have a chance on the street.vortecpro wrote: ↑Fri Jul 20, 2018 6:06 pmvortecpro wrote: ↑Fri Jul 20, 2018 6:04 pmWhat size intake runner would you use on a 632?

Even with a 280@.050 cam you will make 800lb ft.. or you can be like a GM engineer in the 70s and shoot for under 1hp/ci

Of course............that was my point

Re: AFR vs Brodix
Quoting both. I agree. I personally think, "street" 632's are stupid to build. They simply make WAY to much tq at low rpm to be useful. Especially how most guys are brainwashed to be WAY to conservative with cam shafts and cylinder heads.
