No one's ever called my Sunbird a Mazda.

Josh, what are the specs on your 355?
I have a 355 and it isn't even close to that. Is that engine crank HP or Chassis dyno HP?

Didn't check this thread till just now!

Anyways, it's a 355 with flattop pistons that makes 10:1 compression with my 64cc Dart aluminum Pro1's. I have a Comp Cams XE268H with a Performer RPM intake and a Holley 750. I also have Comp Cams full roller rockers, and full MSD ignition including the Pro-billet distributor and 6AL box.

I didn't dyno my engine (yet), but I built my engine like a previous engine my engine builder built that dynoed 440 crank horsepower. I'm running more compression, roller rockers, and better ignition. I'm going to dyno it for sure after I break the engine in.

Thanks Josh, I guess the biggest difference is the Dart heads and the roller rockers....now I have something to shoot for...
Just Dyno'ed the beast on a chassis dyno and she was pulling about 275 to the rear wheels....not bad I guess.. :lol:

Redline Performace at Sheppard and McCowan, north east corner at FireStone Dealer. Eric Latino is the owner (cool guy) and the dyno run and air fuel ratio is $150.00 / hour. Well worth it. The dyno tech, Jay, is an engine wizard. :lol:
