Graeme Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 I have a 67 327 stock bottom end bored .60 1.9/1.5 double hump fuelies, torker manifold and mild cam, with block huggers running gas research straight gas. I am making 180 rwhp. How can I increase power on a budget. Thanks Graeme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest banshee1 Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 dry NOS or a new header maybe a alum driveshaft or a dyno tune just my .02c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Those old heads were good in their day but not anymore. A set a vortec heads and performer rpm airgap intake could add 40 hp. Or you could do a little bowl work on your heads for the cost of a new set of gaskets. Torker intakes don't work that well. A performer rpm intake will help make more hp and torque. Or add some more cubic inches. Slide a flat top piston 350 block under those old heads. You will get more hp and some killer torque for the street. I don't know what mild cam you are using but a little more cam shaft will also help a lot. A 268 comp cam or a 270 comp mag cam will still have pretty good street manors. Or you could spray a 100 shot of N20. New valve springs can also increase hp. A lot of times people cut that corner to save money but end up loosing big hp.

Guest Nic-Rebel450CA Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 By the specs I am figuring you could use a bigger carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Posted November 25, 2003 Author Share Posted November 25, 2003 What heads would be the best upgrade for my engine? al or iron best bang for the buck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin_Jason Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Check my post on your other thread. Just one of many choices but itll work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedRacer Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Wow - 180 RWHP seems way to low for a 327 to me. But, it's hard to tell without seeing the specs. on the engine. I'd try heads (Trickflow http://www.trickflow.com/ aren't to expensive for good aluminum heads - $969.95 @ Summit http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?target=search.asp&type=bykeyword&searchtype=both&part=Trickflow+heads&x=12&y=12) and definitely a cam. Might need a carb. and/or intake to match but that depends on what you have now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustorbust Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 For all the info that you have given 180 rwp seems a little strange it should be making at least 250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Don't engines that on on LPG like his does produce less horse power than a standard gas burning engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nic-Rebel450CA Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 What is the CFM rating on your (carb)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
