How much power do you think this 396 will make?
How much power do you think this 396 will make?
My buddy will be purchasing a z28 with a brand new 396 in it and will be tuning the car on the dyno very shortly. Here is a short run down of the mods...
6 speed with stock 10 bolt and 3.23's
Nu-tek 396 with 1000 miles on it and 11.0:1 compression
Dragonslayer Forged Crank
SRP 396/ 14cc dish/ 5.850" rod
5.850" H-beam Rods
Canton oil pan SBC Fbody
Blueprinted high volume oil pump
Comp R lifters
Pro Magnum Roller Rockers
58MM Arizona Speed and Marine TB
Moroso CAI
Hooker LT's (JetHot Coated)
Street Twin clutch
F.A.S.T engine management with wideband 02 sensor built in.
Comp Cams XE 236/242 112
Accel 300+ ignition module and coil
Pro 5.0 Shifter
36# SVO Injectors
Cloyes Double Roller Timing Chain
Electric Waterpump
255GPH fule pump
Heads supposedly flow
Intake Exhaust
.100 76 68
.200 148 112
.300 208 144
.400 246 168
.500 270 187
.550 277 199
.600 282 205
The intake is currently only ported to fit the 58mm TB, should we pull the intake off and do some porting or will the stock intake be fine? I would think this setup should yield 420 rwhp and similar torque with a dyno tune. He may swap the heads to some afrs and change out the cam in the near future to get some more power out of it. Let me know what you guys think.

Re: How much power do you think this 396 will make?
When you consider that a good port vs a not so good one can be worth 20hp or more, these guessing games just aren't much fun. I like my odds in blackjack better. 
I'm going to be generous and guess anywhere from 375-425rwhp.
