I am going to be rebuilding my engine and doing a mild bridge-port and also putting a holley carb on it. I also am going to have the smog off of it, and lightweight pulleys, there is no ps, and with headers and exhaust. how much hp do you think i will get???

 

234.58 whp.

Incase you couldn't tell its sarcasm. There is no way we can tell what your HP will be like. A lot of factors are going to do a lot to change HP figures. Carb selection, tunning, exhaust design, port style, port size, compression ratio, etc.

 

A mild bridge port (I assume you mean a half bridge port? just the side plates not the intermediate?) with a half decent tunned exhaust should give you about 100-110(genuine)Kw's at the wheels, I dunno what that is in HP. Depending on what rotors are used, how good the porting is, what your intake manifold is like, what holley (why a holley?? why not a webber??) and it also might depend on a million bazillion other variables.

 

agreed

 

No its more like 234.59.

Thats alot of mods, are you doing this yourself or paying. The holley mod can be especially tricky.

 

Well i am doing some of it but i have a friend that has been working on 7's for a while and does some really good work, he converted my car to a 5 speed, i made a deal with him to give him my stereo equipment and $800 andf he is going to rebuild my engine and port, also he is rebuilding a 600 carb and makeing it a 750, so i just came across a good deall with a guy that knows what he is doing.

 

Based on this further information I feel you should expect 90-100 genuine rear wheel kilowatts...













Then again, some people call me too skeptical about people that alegedly "know what they're doing".....

<insert joke from a previous thread>
But who am I to talk on this free public forum about other mechanics I've never seen the work of before. I should probably just tell this person that he should expect 160rwkws and then when he gets 60rwkw's less I'll have to deal with that on my mind that I told him that a bridgeport should get 160rwkws, when what I really ment was a big well developed brideport with a good tunned intake and exhaust would get about that.

Hrmm... I think nathy wathy has had one too many tooheys extra dry's for tonight forum posting antics, my bad.......
