so if you purposely built a low compression mild cam Cammer with small carbs , just what kind of HP would someone expect to make with a combo like that ??.... we're talking street cruiser , will never go to the track or run hard type build , just cool factor and cruising reliabilty not trying to get the most and maybe even the least
reason for question .... my brother has been sending me pict of a black 63 galaxy all aluminum cammer for months now , I ask him what kind of cammer is it ??... who's block , who's heads , ect ect but know one know's any info on the car except its a 427 cammer there for a dyno session and tune the carbs for street cruising ..... any how , the shop finally gets it on the dyno and tunes the air fuel ratio and was very surprised it only made 380 rear wheel HP with this massive engine , it ran good and smooth but if looks could kill this thing made 750 HP ..... so is 380 rear wheel HP on par for a mild cammer build ??
thanks , Eric
