Horsepower Combos - Horsepower Rules
Scott Miller knows it takes a truck to haul, so to his factory 355 small-block he's added both a supercharger and a dose of nitrous. With the supercharger, better breathing cylinder heads, and a high-lift cam (minus the funny stuff) the combo has produced over 500 horses and 500 lb-ft on the dyno. To feed those extra horses, he improved the fuel system with parts from Holley. What's especially fun is that on the track the 4,000-pound pickup stops the clocks in the low-12-second zone. | Scott Miller | | '90 Silverado | | Specs | | Displacement | 355 ci | | Block | Factory Chevy four-bolt main | | Bore x Stroke | 4.030 x 3.48 inches | | Compression | 8.5:1 | | Rod | 5.71-inch Trick Flow I-beam | | Induction | | Injection | Holley 670 TBI | | Camshaft Specs | | Crane Cams hydraulic 240 Compucam | | Duration @ 0.050 | 210/216 | | Lobe separation | 114 | | Cylinder heads | | Trick Flow 175cc | | Valve size | 1.94/1.50-inch | | Rockers | Crane Gold (narrow body), 1.5:1 | | Power Adder | | Nitrous, 125hp wet shot, Whipple Supercharger 6lb boost | | Drivetrain | | Transmission | Chevy 4L80E | | Converter | The Converter Shop 2600 Lockup converter | | Rearend | '92 Chevy SS 454 factory 14-bolt | | Gear | 4.10 w/traction lock | | Rear rubber | | P275/60R15 Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial | | Numbers | | Peak Horsepower | 511 (motor) | | Peak Torque | 503 | | Performance | 12.32 @ 116 mph (motor) | | 60-foot | 1.76 | This Nova may look like just another show car, but it packs some impressive power. Under the flaming flanks Chuck built a 406 small-block from a stock GM two-bolt main block and added AFR 210 cylinder heads, a hydraulic roller camshaft, a moderate amount of compression, and an adjustable NOS 150-horse kit. An MSD ignition system ignites the air/fuel charge. The package has been dragstrip-tested to power the X-body through the quarter-mile in the low-11-second range. | Chuck Immormino | | '71 Nova | | Specs | | Displacement | 406 ci | | Block | 400 GM two-bolt | | Bore x Stroke | 4.155 x 3.75-inches | | Compression | 10.5:1 | | Rod | 5.70-inch | | Induction | | Carburetor | 750 Holley reworked by the Carb Shop to flow 830 cfm | | Intake | Edelbrock Victor Jr. | | Camshaft Specs | | Comp Cams hydraulic roller | | Valve lift | 0.540/0.562 inch | | Duration @ 0.050 | 242/248 | | Lobe separation | 110 installed on a 106 | | Cylinder heads | | AFR 210 | | Valve size | 2.05/1.64-inch | | Rockers | 1.5:1, Crane Rollers aluminum | | Power Adder | | NOS 150 kit | | Drivetrain | | Transmission | TH400, manual valve body built by Denny Savage | | Rearend | 12-bolt, bearings, Moser 39-spline, Detroit locker, narrowed, mini-tubbed | | Gears | 4.10:1 | | Rear rubber | | 29x13.50 Hoosier Quick Time Pro | | Numbers | | Peak Horsepower | 525 @ 6,000 rpm | | Performance | 11.18 @ 128 mph |
