370 build on a budget
#12
Heres a few pics from the build and a installed pic.
Put about 200 miles on it so far runs strong.
Got a lil tune done pulls strong till 6700 maxxing out my regular 8.1 31# injectors. At 6700rpm they are running at 108% duty cycle.Will swap in some 36 flex fuels soon.
Only made one pull to get a half way decent tune on it but its a beast.
Most say a 224r is to small of a cam for a 370 but it works perfect with my 390 gears and 3200 stall.Doesnt lack power or torque at any rpm!

Have any plans on a dyno run, especially one that will show low end torque?
I want to put something like this together but it's hard to decide when all the dyno sheets start at 3k+rpm and I'm wanting a motor that will pull strong right off idle, with no desire to pull over 6k. Also want to stick to around a 2k stall since I will already have heavy tires and it will see a fair bit of time towing and puttering around the mountains.
truck sounds good, makes me want to rip off my **** and get a real exhaust in my yukon.
