I built a 360 for my Volare sedan. It's been a great project and I've finally gotten it together and running good enough to take it to the drag strip for test and tune. It ran 14.2's in the quarter, 2.089 in the 60', but when I plug that into the online power calculators, everything puts out my car is making ~240 hp. I was hoping I would be making more than that... During the passes, the car would pop on the top end, I'd have to shift a little early to stay in the power. And it's a slug off the line, but I'm thinking it just needs a higher stall converter and possibly a locker after that. I'm thinking the top end part is fuel, it only does it under load. In neutral it'll rev past 6000 rpm no problem. Does anyone having any suggestions or comments on what I can do? I'll probably re-check pushrod length soon, within the next week or so.
