First off, we need to know some more about what you have. Carbed or CFI or EFI? Heads? Compression ratio(should you happed to know)? Transmission? Gears? Torque covertor specs? The reason I say it would be helpful to know this is because there may be another reason as to why you are not making any torque. Seems a decent 351 should make good torque to me. We need more info please...

It's not that i dont have any torque, its just i wanna plan ahead to what im gunna do to it.

Carbed, Holley or Dominator
Twisted Flow Specialties R Series Heads
.576 Comp Roller Cam
418 Stroker Kit w/ 10.5:1 Comp
AOD Tranny w/ 3000 Stall and shift kit or Tremec T-5 Swap
4.10 Posi Rear End

I have a program that calculates the dyno of an engine, but the best charger they have, the Turbo-Air Research TB301, I cant find any info on

Thanks, Robert

dont trust those dyno programs, theyre not very accurate, and need much more details to get any sort of accuracy, most stuff that the average car nut doesnt know

Well 408 and 418 strokers are good i would go with 408 over then 418 just for the added strenth the 408 has compared to boring to 60 over to make 418.

With boost be it turbo or SC the 10.5 to 1 compreasion will be to high to make bosst and not detanate unless u plan on using race gas all day long, U want 8.25:1 to 9.0 to be able to make good power and still run street gas and drive all day long.

Also with carbed motor and boost its harder to get fuel mix to be right and it can be done but alot of tuning. FI setup like the magasqurt can be just as cheap as a good Demon or Dominator carb that u would need. on top of that u nee a carb that works with boost as well and air box.

Cost wise both can be done for much the same.

Cam u said 576 Comp Roller Cam, Is this a cam that is for Boost?
I use to run a 544 roller that was good for spray but not for Boost.
Rings u should go with hellfires that are for NOS or boost

And Stall gear and cam should all be worked out to work together,
Take waight of the car, the cam the gear how tall the tire? and stall is auto and make sure u have it all the way u want it.

3000 stall might be good on light car but in heavy car will all the same parts it might need a higher stall or taller tire or bigger gear.

I hope u think this motor out b4 u start spending bucks.
