Pro Street Performance
These system components are designed to help you achieve the ultimate
pro street machine. The chart below shows that the horsepower and
torque numbers are moving up in the rpm band. Therefore the mid range
power and torque are increasing while the bottom end is decreasing.
This is because of the increase in camshaft lift and duration along
with carburetor cfm. To make up for the loss in bottom end power you
will need a larger stall converter along with a lower gear ratio.
This system is not fuel economy friendly. This system requires the
use of high grade pump gas or racing fuel, depending on your final
compression ratio number. A compression ratio of 10:1 with aluminum
heads is capable of using high grade pump gas. With a compression
ratio of 10:1 or greater we recommend the use of race gas with an
octane rating of 105 or greater.
Recommended matching components:
- High flow race mufflers with large tube headers and large diameter
pipes.
- Torque converter in a 2800 to 3600 rpm stall range.
- High flow air filter system.
- Large high flow transmission cooler.
- Ignition system- Ignition box, coil, distributor, wires.
- Electric cooling fan and pulley system with high amp alternator.
- Nitrous kit for added pleasure.
