454 upgrade

[cisco8604]

I have a 454 3999288 4 bolt main 353049 heads it was recently machined .40 over I'm wanting a voodoo cam. Anyone out there have any suggestions I have edelbrock 650 cfm. Dish top pistons I really want 600 hp I just need more help any suggestions I thought about doing a stroker 496

With either good flowing head high compression and big cam or boost via a blower. For 600hp can step up to a bigger carb too

 

[yevgenievich]

Also would be good to know your budget. With the heads you have, easiest path to 600hp would be a blower with about 9.5:1 compression on the motor.
I have been down that path with my camaro and was pretty happy with it. Ran a 750 carb if I remember correctly

Turbo. Blowers are so parasitic.

I pulled 486flbs and 483hp at the dyno on pump gas 9-1 cp 280hr cam same heads ported as big as they go I imagine with the stroker a lil more compression and some more octane wouldnt be hard number to reach

 

[87scotty]

I also think you'll need more carb

About 100cfm more carb or bigger. I have a 750DP with the choke tower machined off on my wee 407BB.

If he really has dished pistons with the 049's he's already setup for a blower.

Nothing wrong with turbos, I'm working on one now with a good friend of mine(engine builder)getting a customer's boat ready for a ski race coming up next week, and they're great for dual purpose. BUT, there's nothing like a blower for that instant power, or the sound for that matter.

I agree. Turbo is superior to supercharger.

The sound of a pair of twin 88s spooled Up are the things dreams are made of lol. I get the sound of a blower with a gear drive lol. But yes the are nice to look at but not very stealthy tho.

That is the blower belt sound not a gear drive, lol.. Not stealthy, matter of opinion, lol..

I can duplicate the blower sound with a gear driven timing set geez I didn't think I had to spell it out lol.

********, noisy gear drive does NOT sound like a blower, it sounds like a phuckin irritating noisy gear drive...
