Why can't a daily driver be 240hp? I'm confused, so is the goal 240hp after nitrous? Anyways I learned after I switched over to EFI I could put A LOT more cam into my engine and still have a soft idle.
The engine is pretty darn mild. I didn't touch the shortblock except for the cam. The head was shaved .1, 3 angle, polishing the bowls, and bigger valves. So after all that it seems like I can be hugging up to 200hp and gobs of torque.
The EFI guestimate was simply knowing how much fuel is being sucked through the TBI, and refering it to the 350 I stole it off and knowing how much horsepower those kicked out. Also going off what other people have done and their known dyno numbers.
Hi! I didn´t say it can¨t be 240hp daily driver, but I´m determined to not do any work on the shortblock including cam. If the rest of the work (head, manfiold, efi) turns up to be a 200hp that´s cool but I doubt it. I´ll post new dyno-numbers when I´ve got the new head on and the EFI installed, and we´ll take it from there The engine is pretty darn mild. I didn't touch the shortblock except for the cam.

Have a nice weekend
Of course this project went mad (as they usually do) so at the moment I am waiting for Cam, Headers and new clifford head (Thanks Sean). I have stripped down the car, done some welding on the floor, painted it and installed a new carpet with 2 glasfibre bucket seats (3kg/each), welded in a strut tower brace in the back and installed new 4pt seatbelts.
