This would make about 370-380hp in my neck of the woods!

Just subbed I stumbled onto your channel Cool content! I love the now underdog SBC...., I have a 350 I've had since mid 90s it's been in different configurations and I've tried a bunch of cams in it from old crane fireball II to comp magnum 292 and the current camshaft in it is the absolute best overall "mild street" sbc cam I've ever tried... I recommend this to anyone that has a vehicle with a SBC that wants a great broad powerband and sweet lumpy idle with no vacuum issues... It's a Howard's flat tappet (112031-08). It's straight pattern.480" lift 231° duration @ .050, 285° advertised duration, 108 lsa. Howard's recommends it "for heavy vehicles", it Says it 2800-6400 rpm range but that's definitely conservative it's way broader than that, I have it in a 9:1 355 with ported and polished 2.02/1.60 GM 993 heads I bought from arrowhead in 90s and a 70s Eddy original Torker open plenum intake with 2" spacer, headers to dual 3" exhaust and it still pulls strong off idle with 26" tall tires 3:08 gears in a 4000lb truck! The powerband is strong all the way up to 6000. I had a 2500 stall converter in a built 700r4 but it wasnt necessary I had to put my original 700 trans back in with stock v6 converter and it drove fine, I can mash the throttle off idle and light the tires up (with a built 800cfm Q-jet and now a cheapo 600 Edelbrock).. Power brakes work fine and with a 108lsa the idle is pretty nasty sounding, people constantly come up grinning complimenting the sound when it's potato potatoing away at the gas pumps. I can not see anyone being disappointed with this camshaft if they are building a mild to moderate street smallblock. Another good cam I ran was a lunati bracket master II 292 that's a good overall cam, the comp 292 magnum was way to much duration for a daily imo, Crane Saturday night special cam was a dud for the street it had good Midrange for off corner torque but mehh low and top end, had 106lsa so has cool nasty idle but sucked on street overall. But that "max torque" Howard's cam is a home run plus it's Howard's so it's a quality American made product and with .480 lift it's compatible with most mild setups....and there only $150! you really should try it out in a build. There's a couple of video on my channel you can hear the sound.
Thanks for checking out my channel! Ive actually looked at that howards cam before, glad to hear some feedback on it. I will be sure to add to to the list!
Yea in the early 80s I tried several cams in my camaro 350 engine and the best one for me was a 292 solid lift comp . I think I has a tad over 10 to 1 compression. I had to run water alcohol injection to help control knock in the hot summer
@@jimkillen1065 combustion chamber design spark location and port velocity has come a long way since then, awesome isn't it! i love a good 292 cam, being a solid , it really packed the cylinders with superheated air, thats where it got so much power, i cannot imagine how snappy that engine must have been when it got into power band. Me and my friend marcus we had an electric blue 67 cali special mustang with narrow slicks on it in high schooL it had the solid 292 cam in a 302 long rod made from a 289 hi po, it was a real fender shaker, made crazy torque , it had high compression, we used a restrictive intake to keep so much cylinder packing down. people would say "why don't you use just a smaller cam" we were like, well it feels amazing, and our compression was too high to use a smaller cam we would have detonated for sure, and there were performer rpm package 350's that would beat us, we were like 'dang' they got power. Well it ran footin the brake 13 flat consistently with stock mildly massaged heads in a hi po 289 long rods and forged pistons. the car was all metal, like no interior metal, it had a factory like main hoop, we got as far as having the seats reupholstered with errors, and metallic electric dark blue pearl paint with a few runs or errors, for 4+ grand. Hey we try not to argue with the local stoner shops if you know what i mean, hahahahahhah. that was fun stuff right there. the car was a dog on the street, and before we had a good torque converter we tried to drive to and from school about a mile away, i could run there faster, we were stuck at lights, and the gas gauge is going down, the car is shuttering, and pulling through the brakes, we tore up a 2 whole set of rotors and burned up countless gallons of gas, we barely had low paying jobs part time on hardship allowance. Well it was really fun messing with the first car. The fact it was a california special blows my mind to this day. When i found out by running all the numbers and seeing the parts on the car, we had to tell big brother whom owned it originally, well they weren't realizing still. Now a california special is worth many thousands of dollars restored. At one time i had 6 mustang and gen 1 camaro body shells stacked 2 together in my parents back yard, and they were just like, " . . . this has to go" had a yamaha motorcycle project didn't run well or fast , and a gorilla mini bike, and my very first car i bought for 300 dollars in new mexico it was a 1972 skylark with a high compression 350 2bbl that i added a 4bbl intake and headers off a 1970 400 or 455 that i could not afford from the person. Th400. it had a blue racer camshaft in it. made all the torque and revved out to 5500 rpm
@@jimkillen1065 when I had that comp 292 it was in a 4wd granny tranny lifted square body and being young big cam rough idle how go wrong it was a bad application, compression was 9:1 really not high enough for optimal results either but it was totally dead below 2500 then as soon as it hit 2500 it woke up with the fury like a light switch! I could blister 2 35" bfg at's sideways up the road but what a turd on low end torque. Young and dumb before I knew how bad over cammed was, I bought a crane solid dz302 offroad blueprint cam years ago but when I see the card saying the power range started at 4500! It was like only .450 lift and crazy duration, I see that and was like naaa, i sold it and the guy put it in a warmed over 355 in a 1980 Camaro and it actually ripped sounded evil!
Yea I was a kid back then and I wanted more hp . I had a 68 Camaro at that time also that I had built a 302 and it was a 4 speed car . So I liked high rpm hp ..The reason I called Comp cam and I told them I tired of the engine laying over from the small hydraulic cam I dont remember exactly 268 or what. I had over 10 to one compression. Not a great idea on cast iron heads at that time . I had a 2500 stall convertor in the 80 Camaro and 3.42 gears . The comp 292 would pull 6500 first and second and 6200 high gear as I did it many time when it was cool and with the meth water injection. Headers recuved HEI ect . I twisted the input shaft once on the transmission. I hated the automatic but it what I ordered for the x wife back then .
Great video brother. You probably don't remember but I messaged you about using a Schneider cam some time back. Well that's the exact cam I had in mind. I haven't got my engine together yet but I will definitely give it a try. Thanks man
@@cuttersperformance all the information you give is appreciated, you don't owe the viewers. I thank you. Eventhough now i feel stupid running camel back heads.
That's whats on our 400 now in a 70 C20. I'm porting and rebuilding a set of 906 vortec heads for it now, Im going with an air gap this time being that I can't reuse the performer. Not looking for crazy power just a cruiser, but it should run pretty good with a mild cam and ported vortecs with an air gap.
@@zAvAvAz that's what is on it now with 882 heads and it has decent power/torque. It's a 70 c20, I have "stage 2" th400 and 2800stall getting ready to go in and it has 4.10gears. Its a street cruiser to have fun, the ported vortecs and cam should be a big power increase. I def want a dual plane either air gap or performer with vortec bolt pattern. It should be a lot more fun cruising this summer. LoL It's next after I finish the turbo LS Camaro.
I love the configurations you build. Honest to goodness street / burnout machines, without breaking the bank. Maybe I missed it but I don't think you mentioned the compression ratios these ended up at.
I find the Circle Track grinds make good power over a broad range for street motors, especially seeing alot of the classes are limited on lift or restricted to stock manifolds, iron heads or low cfm carbs.
I have a 285 solid lift SBC Comp Cam on my shelf, it’s used in Circle Track Racing, Mud Truck Racing, and drag racing, I’m running the hydraulic version in my limited modified engine, but the camshaft is a baseline for just about every car at track.
That’s awesome for a set of sportsman heads. Now I’m really looking forward to cranking my 10.1:1 Promaxx 183 headed 350 with Howard’s 231/235 .510/.530 112lsa. Looking to get about 425hp out of it.
That would be a hard running street motor even I a half ton 2wd muscle truck. In my opinion the perfect dual purpose street strip combo. It would be a little monster on the street. Add a 100 shot of nitrous for the track even with the right vehicle setup and in my opinion it would be an impressive budget build with even today's performance standards. I'd say that I wouldn't want to go bigger with the cam for a daily driven performance build. That cam would be at the limit as far as daily driven street performance at that displacement.
@@xmo552 I don't think that many people/shops O-ring block and heads anymore. Just get a good set of head bolts, and MLS gaskets and you should be good up to 200 shot of nitrous, or 15 pounds of boost. Make sure your fuel system is up to task, as well a proper ignition timing with whatever power adder you choose..
Pat, love the channel. That EPS 2701 intake rocks for low to mid torque! I saw another test where the EPS 2701 had at least 10 lbft more at 4,000 without a spacer. Did you test it without a spacer?
This seems like a good setup for sure! I'm actually surprised with them. Makes me anxious to port my vortecs and finally get something going with my project. Recently acquired a 327 from a '64 impala. I'm excited to see what it'll do with 062 heads, full length headers, and Qjet intake (deciding which one to go with). Should be fun! 👍
Subbed, I've got a 406 short block I'm building towards this same type of idea. Hoping for ~500 torque and good power up to about 5500 for a heavy 67 Bel Air.
I have a 1980 malibue with a 350 sbc not sure what parts it has in it I was told it has heads high compression cam intake 650 carb it used to run really good when I first got it 2 years ago I already blew 2 turbo 350s getting ready to pull out the engine for a rebuild and throwing a th400 transmission in it for the summer I raced it a few times Ive beat a couple Rt chargers 5.3 Ls and a 6.0 Ls since car is so light and it's all gutted

Comment and then a couple of questions: Think about dynamic compression for a moment. As far as I'm aware, roughly 8.25 to 1 (dynamic) is about the max compression with 91 octane. I'm curious about 87 octane. What do you think that the max dynamic compression ratio that you can run with 87 octane pump gas? 8.0 to 1? And... if I ran around 8.10 to 8.25 to 1, could I simply take a couple or 3 degrees of total timing out of my motor (yes, I realize that it will decrease my hp and torque) and run 87 with zero issues? Thanks in advance, Jim
i am building either a 362, 373, 383, or 388 out of a 350, Originally i wanted to do a 408 stroker. Do you think this combo can still make as much torque and horsepower without trading any or should i go to the XR282HR10 hydraulic roller, i have an EPS intake , i was really thinking i may have to change it to an rpm at least, although if it can still make a ton of torque and low end i am shall use it. Well edelbrock really Hit it with those EPS intakes for the 350. Its between the performer and the performer rpm, Performer EPS is all around best of both worlds.
Got a question guys. Have a 97 2 door 5.7 Tahoe Z71 (sport). Truck feels sluggish and sounds weak when merging onto Interstate-4. I know this isn't a ton to go on but I've ruled out a head gasket doing the blue liquid test. Is this rings? I know I need to do a compression test but working 2 jobs and caring for my sick wife....shit sucks right now for finding time to diagnose. Wish I could afford to have you guys build me a 355 for my Tahoe. At least this channel helps give me an idea of what I want for my Tahoe when the stars align again for me and my wife gets better. Great content.
If the engine pulls good from a stop but has a loss of power higher in the rpm, maybe check for a plugged cat or exhaust? Maybe just time for a tune-up? Sorry to hear about your wife being sick. Hopefully, she gets well soon 🙏 Thanks for checking out my channel
@@cuttersperformance did plugs, wires, cap, and cleaned my MAF. How much is it to buy a turnkey 5.7. I want mild power and awesome reliability. Maybe 300--325hp and 375-400hp. I have a 5.7 vortec I could send you
nice build on the 355. are the early blocks "010" hard to find these days. what would a fully machined block .030 over cost with no core, outright. thanks
It really depends on your area, machine shop prices but typically a fully cleaned, crack checked, decked, bore/honed and cam bearings Installed will be around $800, them another $200 or so if it needs line honing.
@@cuttersperformance ok thanks. i saw your 388 build nice!! i was considering a 383 with all new parts with the exception of block using a rotating assy with heads from afr street cnc 195, performer rpm, or trick flow with a cam similar to your 388. comp xr282 or 1 down from that. c/r 10:1 for street performance.
I've got a 355 that supposedly makes very similar power naturally aspirated. Trick flow 175cc heads. 245/195cfm@.600". The cam is a Comp xfi252hr. 252⁰/264⁰ advertised. 202⁰212⁰@.050". .550"/.546". It's a torque monster. I've got a performer air-gap intake (non rpm), and 1 ⅝" long tubes on it. Throttle response is incredible. The small intake ports help keep velocity high and part throttle driveability is great. Comp cams camquest software estimated 406hp@5500 and 463lb/ft@3000. Does this sound accurate or even plausible to you? I've heard that my torque number sounds very optimistic. I've added about 9.5psi of boost so it's a real monster in my old pickup now.
@@cuttersperformance I got a vortech centrifugal supercharger. I got the universal carbureted kit for sbc. I'm running holley sniper so it fits right up. I can add fuel and pull timing under boost with just a few clicks. Pretty simple bolt-on. I had the low end covered with the small cam so u wanted a little more top end with the rising boost curve of the supercharger. I think it makes peak torque at 4,500 now.. and peak hp at 6500. I think it's making around 625hp. The supercharger claims to be capable of 775hp. I bumped my compression with the tiny 56cc chambers. Maybe that's why the software power estimates seem high.
She pulls 22" hg at idle. In the sniper software, I can pull the idle down to 400 and she purrs like a kitten. It's in a k2500 pickup so I wanted low end torque for the heavy truck. It's a good setup for me.
@@cuttersperformance the dingle ball was far from maxed out and made impressive power for a budget build. I'm quite curious, but roller cam it should be 440- 450 peak.
I've got a 358 with 13:1 pistons and vortec 906 heads. Air gap intake I'm building it for a mud truck. Had a thumpr cam in it before what do you recommend for a good cam that sounds good but makes good low to mid power
I'm picking up a 1st gen lt1 small block chevy built up to a 355 11.1 compression what's a good set of head gaskets to bring compression down for blow threw procharger
So a stock vortec engine with ported heads & 160 exhaust valves, what's the maximum cam that will still run with the stock efi or the upgraded spider with the injectors at the ends? Have a suburban we use to tow 2 sleds at times & it's weak.
The 1.6 ex valves are great but not necessarily needed for alot of mild cam NA builds. Cams like comps cam XR270 work well but will need custom tuning to work with any factory efi. There's no cam worth swapping that doesnt need some sort of tuning needed to run properly
Fantastic torque from a 355! Would a Melling 22280 roller cam and Vortec heads put out similar numbers with the same compression?This is the cam that I will be using. Your build combo sounds like the best of both worlds. Thanks.

461's were great for the their time but they dont compare to just about any aftermarket head. The machine work/porting needed to make them as good as a average aftermarket head is worth more than biying a set of aluminum heads (maybe not at the current state of things lol)
@@cuttersperformance thanks for the reply. My boss has a 355 SBC with AFR 195 heads, Edlebrock Victor Jr intake, brawler carb, Crane Cam that is almost too aggressive for the street in a Nova. He's clams 550hp. You think that's realistic?
Is it possible yes, the heads can support it. But you would need some decent compression and a heck of a cam to make a real deal 550 hp 355. Most decent AFR 195 street/strip builds are in the 450 to 500 hp range
Hey man been watching the channel I found some 441 heads says they are 76cc but someone put 202 values in them I can get them for $300 are they worth buying thanks for any info thanks
They were a great head for their time but compared to any head nowadays not so great. But if they are all done up and ready to go for $300 then they will work good for a mild budget build. It takes about a $1000 in machine work to fully recondition a old set of heads so $300 seems pretty cheap?
@PISS-CUTTER Performance have a look at my RUclips small block Chevy. Twin 2.5" exhaust to the rear bumper, th-400 and 3:001 gears, Street drivable, daily driver, cruise around low speed, hit it at the track, and has done a 1.46 sixty foot time. Has a 10second 1/4 et. potential if it had traction from about the sixty foot timer to half track.
Its about 2 to 3 times the prices to go roller instead of flat tappet. Flat tappets are a risk these days with the current issue with bad lifters. It only takes one bad one out of the set and your tearing it all down again. I dont have a exact price as I had a bunch of these parts already. But a roller cam and retro fit lifters setup starts around $900 usd
What kind of HP and torque do you think I will get out of a 355 with flat top, just a set of freshened up vortec heads, stock hydraulic roller cam and a performerRPM air gap intake?
It would be slightly over stock but what I had good luck with when I couldn't afford a cam I just advanced it 4 deg to get more low end grunt for the ok yeah I did it for better burnouts lmao and it did them very very well in a 73 square body that was originally a six cylinder truck so it had a 373:1 gear ratio and I was able to aquire a limited slip carrier that my buddy had in his cutlass but it used to slip on occasion so we tightened up the shim pack and installed the whole carrier

@Dallixn check out some of my other combo videos. I show the cam specs on each build and give a breakdown with dyno results. It may help you decide on what you want to build, how big of cam you need, and what power to expect from it
Most engines built for the street are not "built for the street" and have No idle quality and no bottom end drivability. Love to see a 400 small block with an RV cam built for 87 octane and some gas mileage.

@@cuttersperformance most ppl over cam street engines. If you go over 230 duration your losing the tourques where you drive it most. If you ask me there is no suck cridder as street/strip
Your heads aren't flowing at .510 lift. Those Iron Eagles have a great .400 lift flow, shittty .500 flow. According to your flow chart it shows flow is getting worse after .500 and at .510 your into excessive valve spring parasitic loss range. Id choose a .485-500 lift cam, no more
You gotta remember the valve only sees peak lift once in the duration of the lift. A head that flow peak at say .500 lift will almost always benefit from a cam that goes to say .550+. No engine that I've ever tried swapping a high ratio rocker arm has lost power on the dyno with more lift. Some engines gain more than others depending on how undersized the cam is, but I've never lost power from more lift (1.5 rocker to 1.6 rocker). Hes a extreme example but we have a super stock SBC race engine, the head peak flow at .750-800 lift (400 cfm). The engine was down over 150hp with a 780 lift cam vs a .950 lift cam.

Very nice street torque curve! It’ll be interesting to compare the 383’s output, but this is a super 355 for a C10!
Yeah its will be a great hotrod truck engine thats for sure
@@cuttersperformance looking to rebuild my 97 Tahoe 5.7 was looking at 383 but could I get close to these numbers with mods to the vortec 5.7 staying fuelinjected.
love me some sbc long live the king!
Awesome! I have a BluePrint 355 i think it did 385 hp/ 405 tq on the dyno, pushes the 16’ airboat with plenty of power
Nice flat curve for a short stroke small block very nice! Run a ls with this make him worry off the line! Stick a little blower on it
A little weiand blower would be fun!
I love this channel. I learn so much.
Love them small block Chevys!!

Just subbed I stumbled onto your channel Cool content! I love the now underdog SBC...., I have a 350 I've had since mid 90s it's been in different configurations and I've tried a bunch of cams in it from old crane fireball II to comp magnum 292 and the current camshaft in it is the absolute best overall "mild street" sbc cam I've ever tried... I recommend this to anyone that has a vehicle with a SBC that wants a great broad powerband and sweet lumpy idle with no vacuum issues... It's a Howard's flat tappet (112031-08). It's straight pattern.480" lift 231° duration @ .050, 285° advertised duration, 108 lsa. Howard's recommends it "for heavy vehicles", it Says it 2800-6400 rpm range but that's definitely conservative it's way broader than that, I have it in a 9:1 355 with ported and polished 2.02/1.60 GM 993 heads I bought from arrowhead in 90s and a 70s Eddy original Torker open plenum intake with 2" spacer, headers to dual 3" exhaust and it still pulls strong off idle with 26" tall tires 3:08 gears in a 4000lb truck! The powerband is strong all the way up to 6000. I had a 2500 stall converter in a built 700r4 but it wasnt necessary I had to put my original 700 trans back in with stock v6 converter and it drove fine, I can mash the throttle off idle and light the tires up (with a built 800cfm Q-jet and now a cheapo 600 Edelbrock).. Power brakes work fine and with a 108lsa the idle is pretty nasty sounding, people constantly come up grinning complimenting the sound when it's potato potatoing away at the gas pumps. I can not see anyone being disappointed with this camshaft if they are building a mild to moderate street smallblock. Another good cam I ran was a lunati bracket master II 292 that's a good overall cam, the comp 292 magnum was way to much duration for a daily imo, Crane Saturday night special cam was a dud for the street it had good Midrange for off corner torque but mehh low and top end, had 106lsa so has cool nasty idle but sucked on street overall. But that "max torque" Howard's cam is a home run plus it's Howard's so it's a quality American made product and with .480 lift it's compatible with most mild setups....and there only $150! you really should try it out in a build. There's a couple of video on my channel you can hear the sound.
Thanks for checking out my channel! Ive actually looked at that howards cam before, glad to hear some feedback on it. I will be sure to add to to the list!
Yea in the early 80s I tried several cams in my camaro 350 engine and the best one for me was a 292 solid lift comp . I think I has a tad over 10 to 1 compression. I had to run water alcohol injection to help control knock in the hot summer
@@jimkillen1065 combustion chamber design spark location and port velocity has come a long way since then, awesome isn't it! i love a good 292 cam, being a solid , it really packed the cylinders with superheated air, thats where it got so much power, i cannot imagine how snappy that engine must have been when it got into power band. Me and my friend marcus we had an electric blue 67 cali special mustang with narrow slicks on it in high schooL it had the solid 292 cam in a 302 long rod made from a 289 hi po, it was a real fender shaker, made crazy torque , it had high compression, we used a restrictive intake to keep so much cylinder packing down. people would say "why don't you use just a smaller cam" we were like, well it feels amazing, and our compression was too high to use a smaller cam we would have detonated for sure, and there were performer rpm package 350's that would beat us, we were like 'dang' they got power. Well it ran footin the brake 13 flat consistently with stock mildly massaged heads in a hi po 289 long rods and forged pistons. the car was all metal, like no interior metal, it had a factory like main hoop, we got as far as having the seats reupholstered with errors, and metallic electric dark blue pearl paint with a few runs or errors, for 4+ grand. Hey we try not to argue with the local stoner shops if you know what i mean, hahahahahhah. that was fun stuff right there. the car was a dog on the street, and before we had a good torque converter we tried to drive to and from school about a mile away, i could run there faster, we were stuck at lights, and the gas gauge is going down, the car is shuttering, and pulling through the brakes, we tore up a 2 whole set of rotors and burned up countless gallons of gas, we barely had low paying jobs part time on hardship allowance. Well it was really fun messing with the first car. The fact it was a california special blows my mind to this day. When i found out by running all the numbers and seeing the parts on the car, we had to tell big brother whom owned it originally, well they weren't realizing still. Now a california special is worth many thousands of dollars restored. At one time i had 6 mustang and gen 1 camaro body shells stacked 2 together in my parents back yard, and they were just like, " . . . this has to go" had a yamaha motorcycle project didn't run well or fast , and a gorilla mini bike, and my very first car i bought for 300 dollars in new mexico it was a 1972 skylark with a high compression 350 2bbl that i added a 4bbl intake and headers off a 1970 400 or 455 that i could not afford from the person. Th400. it had a blue racer camshaft in it. made all the torque and revved out to 5500 rpm
@@jimkillen1065 when I had that comp 292 it was in a 4wd granny tranny lifted square body and being young big cam rough idle how go wrong it was a bad application, compression was 9:1 really not high enough for optimal results either but it was totally dead below 2500 then as soon as it hit 2500 it woke up with the fury like a light switch! I could blister 2 35" bfg at's sideways up the road but what a turd on low end torque. Young and dumb before I knew how bad over cammed was, I bought a crane solid dz302 offroad blueprint cam years ago but when I see the card saying the power range started at 4500! It was like only .450 lift and crazy duration, I see that and was like naaa, i sold it and the guy put it in a warmed over 355 in a 1980 Camaro and it actually ripped sounded evil!
Yea I was a kid back then and I wanted more hp . I had a 68 Camaro at that time also that I had built a 302 and it was a 4 speed car . So I liked high rpm hp ..The reason I called Comp cam and I told them I tired of the engine laying over from the small hydraulic cam I dont remember exactly 268 or what. I had over 10 to one compression. Not a great idea on cast iron heads at that time . I had a 2500 stall convertor in the 80 Camaro and 3.42 gears . The comp 292 would pull 6500 first and second and 6200 high gear as I did it many time when it was cool and with the meth water injection. Headers recuved HEI ect . I twisted the input shaft once on the transmission. I hated the automatic but it what I ordered for the x wife back then .
WoW your motors are putting out fantastic Numbers, thank for cranking compression ratio , very important information 👍❤️🏁
Thanks man appreciate that!
Great video brother. You probably don't remember but I messaged you about using a Schneider cam some time back. Well that's the exact cam I had in mind. I haven't got my engine together yet but I will definitely give it a try. Thanks man
Its a great little cam! And im actually getting them to grind me a custom roller cam for the dingle ball 355 when cores are available again
Great little SBC combo 👍🏻🇦🇺
That’d be a fun street engine
Now I feel guilty, I have been busy and didn't notice how long it has been without your vids.
Will try to not to not let that much time in between my videos!
@@cuttersperformance all the information you give is appreciated, you don't owe the viewers. I thank you. Eventhough now i feel stupid running camel back heads.
Those Performer EPS Intakes are awesome. I had one on a mild built 400 SB and it had a boat load of low speed torque lol.
Yeah especially for the price!
That's whats on our 400 now in a 70 C20. I'm porting and rebuilding a set of 906 vortec heads for it now, Im going with an air gap this time being that I can't reuse the performer. Not looking for crazy power just a cruiser, but it should run pretty good with a mild cam and ported vortecs with an air gap.
@@BDauto86 A performer EPS vortec would be awesome on the vortecs if they make one. give em a call and ask them.
@@zAvAvAz that's what is on it now with 882 heads and it has decent power/torque. It's a 70 c20, I have "stage 2" th400 and 2800stall getting ready to go in and it has 4.10gears. Its a street cruiser to have fun, the ported vortecs and cam should be a big power increase. I def want a dual plane either air gap or performer with vortec bolt pattern. It should be a lot more fun cruising this summer. LoL
It's next after I finish the turbo LS Camaro.
I love the configurations you build. Honest to goodness street / burnout machines, without breaking the bank. Maybe I missed it but I don't think you mentioned the compression ratios these ended up at.
Thank you and thats what Im trying to go for.
It should be in the video amongst all my rambling but it was 10.3:1 compression
I find the Circle Track grinds make good power over a broad range for street motors, especially seeing alot of the classes are limited on lift or restricted to stock manifolds, iron heads or low cfm carbs.
Yeah 100% agree 👍
I have a 285 solid lift SBC Comp Cam on my shelf, it’s used in Circle Track Racing, Mud Truck Racing, and drag racing, I’m running the hydraulic version in my limited modified engine, but the camshaft is a baseline for just about every car at track.
Badd ass build thanks for the video 🤙
Appreciate that!
That is gonna be a fun fun funnnn street engine
Perfect! I want to do this setup!
I have Dart Iron Eagle 200cc heads on my 406. She's a screamer.
That’s awesome for a set of sportsman heads. Now I’m really looking forward to cranking my 10.1:1 Promaxx 183 headed 350 with Howard’s 231/235 .510/.530 112lsa. Looking to get about 425hp out of it.
That's amazing torque numbers.
That would be a hard running street motor even I a half ton 2wd muscle truck. In my opinion the perfect dual purpose street strip combo. It would be a little monster on the street. Add a 100 shot of nitrous for the track even with the right vehicle setup and in my opinion it would be an impressive budget build with even today's performance standards. I'd say that I wouldn't want to go bigger with the cam for a daily driven performance build. That cam would be at the limit as far as daily driven street performance at that displacement.
Yeah exactly! 100 shot at the track and a good cruiser when on the street
Should the block and heads be O-ringed for nitrous....... or boost?
@@xmo552 I don't think that many people/shops O-ring block and heads anymore. Just get a good set of head bolts, and MLS gaskets and you should be good up to 200 shot of nitrous, or 15 pounds of boost. Make sure your fuel system is up to task, as well a proper ignition timing with whatever power adder you choose..
@@erikturner5073
Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.
Pat, love the channel. That EPS 2701 intake rocks for low to mid torque! I saw another test where the EPS 2701 had at least 10 lbft more at 4,000 without a spacer. Did you test it without a spacer?
I love the videos! I need to have you put my engine together to get some more content going lol.
This seems like a good setup for sure! I'm actually surprised with them. Makes me anxious to port my vortecs and finally get something going with my project.
Recently acquired a 327 from a '64 impala. I'm excited to see what it'll do with 062 heads, full length headers, and Qjet intake (deciding which one to go with). Should be fun! 👍
Subbed, I've got a 406 short block I'm building towards this same type of idea. Hoping for ~500 torque and good power up to about 5500 for a heavy 67 Bel Air.
I am building some very similar to that right now aswell
Great to have another video from ya man!! I have a question... Can you use stud girdles on Vortec heads?
Yes but they need to be for vortecs. Stud spaacing plus holes for center bolt valve covers
I have a 1980 malibue with a 350 sbc not sure what parts it has in it I was told it has heads high compression cam intake 650 carb it used to run really good when I first got it 2 years ago I already blew 2 turbo 350s getting ready to pull out the engine for a rebuild and throwing a th400 transmission in it for the summer I raced it a few times Ive beat a couple Rt chargers 5.3 Ls and a 6.0 Ls since car is so light and it's all gutted
I did a 350 bored .030 over, dished pistons, roller cam (thumper comp cam), performance water pump, fuel pump, dual plane intake edelbrok intake, 600 holley carb, 305 heads with 1.94s and 1.72s and performance springs, aluminum radiator, electric fans, hedman long tube headers and a red clutches th350 with shift kit, what do you think of this set up?
What 305 heads did you use?
@PISS-CUTTER Performance 56cc 305 heads with 1.94 and performance springs
Will you build some cheap budget build sbc 383 setups with vortec heads street car setups and see how much hp/tq that u can get???
Always new combos coming up!
-ChevyAllDay- 🤜🏿🤛🏿😎
Great little build. Followed your guide on my SBC 350 build and have no idea what HP it’s making. Comp cam xe274h-10, new lifters, new double roller cam, 036 vortec heads (machined), new screw in studs, valves, springs, Edelbrock performer rpm intake and Holley 609cfm. Thinking about going to an edelbrock avs2 650.
Right on! Thats a great cam. Do you have it running now?
@@cuttersperformance I do, sounds mean, runs like a turd. Carb running rich, thinking of drilling holes in butterflies of carb or upgrading to Edelbrock AVS2 650. Also, biggest upgrade next is 2500 stall, 200-4r tranny, and 3.73 rear end.
Were those heads stock? They have good flow numbers
Mild porting
Comment and then a couple of questions: Think about dynamic compression for a moment. As far as I'm aware, roughly 8.25 to 1 (dynamic) is about the max compression with 91 octane. I'm curious about 87 octane. What do you think that the max dynamic compression ratio that you can run with 87 octane pump gas? 8.0 to 1? And... if I ran around 8.10 to 8.25 to 1, could I simply take a couple or 3 degrees of total timing out of my motor (yes, I realize that it will decrease my hp and torque) and run 87 with zero issues? Thanks in advance, Jim
i am building either a 362, 373, 383, or 388 out of a 350, Originally i wanted to do a 408 stroker. Do you think this combo can still make as much torque and horsepower without trading any or should i go to the XR282HR10 hydraulic roller, i have an EPS intake , i was really thinking i may have to change it to an rpm at least, although if it can still make a ton of torque and low end i am shall use it. Well edelbrock really Hit it with those EPS intakes for the 350. Its between the performer and the performer rpm, Performer EPS is all around best of both worlds.
You will really want to check out my 388 stroker video coming up. Hint hint- I use that xr282 cam in that combo. 500+ ftlbs of torque
@@cuttersperformanceWe have been waiting a month for the stroker results! Tell us 500ft lbs and then nothing for month!
How much do you have in this build ? Luv your channel
Not a whole lot but I used alot of parts Ive collected over the years. You could easily spend 4k+ to replicated this build with current prices
Got a question guys.
Have a 97 2 door 5.7 Tahoe Z71 (sport).
Truck feels sluggish and sounds weak when merging onto Interstate-4.
I know this isn't a ton to go on but I've ruled out a head gasket doing the blue liquid test.
Is this rings? I know I need to do a compression test but working 2 jobs and caring for my sick wife....shit sucks right now for finding time to diagnose.
Wish I could afford to have you guys build me a 355 for my Tahoe.
At least this channel helps give me an idea of what I want for my Tahoe when the stars align again for me and my wife gets better.
Great content.
If the engine pulls good from a stop but has a loss of power higher in the rpm, maybe check for a plugged cat or exhaust? Maybe just time for a tune-up?
Sorry to hear about your wife being sick. Hopefully, she gets well soon 🙏
Thanks for checking out my channel
@@cuttersperformance did plugs, wires, cap, and cleaned my MAF.
How much is it to buy a turnkey 5.7. I want mild power and awesome reliability.
Maybe 300--325hp and 375-400hp.
I have a 5.7 vortec I could send you
When you decked that block, did it require any machine work on the intake manifold?
nice build on the 355. are the early blocks "010" hard to find these days. what would a fully machined block .030 over cost with no core, outright. thanks
It really depends on your area, machine shop prices but typically a fully cleaned, crack checked, decked, bore/honed and cam bearings Installed will be around $800, them another $200 or so if it needs line honing.
@@cuttersperformance ok thanks. i saw your 388 build nice!! i was considering a 383 with all new parts with the exception of block using a rotating assy with heads from afr street cnc 195, performer rpm, or trick flow with a cam similar to your 388. comp xr282 or 1 down from that. c/r 10:1 for street performance.
I've got a 355 that supposedly makes very similar power naturally aspirated.
Trick flow 175cc heads. 245/195cfm@.600". The cam is a Comp xfi252hr. 252⁰/264⁰ advertised. 202⁰212⁰@.050". .550"/.546". It's a torque monster. I've got a performer air-gap intake (non rpm), and 1 ⅝" long tubes on it. Throttle response is incredible. The small intake ports help keep velocity high and part throttle driveability is great.
Comp cams camquest software estimated 406hp@5500 and 463lb/ft@3000. Does this sound accurate or even plausible to you? I've heard that my torque number sounds very optimistic.
I've added about 9.5psi of boost so it's a real monster in my old pickup now.
Really good setup but I think abit optimistic with that cam
What power adder are you using?
@@cuttersperformance I got a vortech centrifugal supercharger. I got the universal carbureted kit for sbc. I'm running holley sniper so it fits right up. I can add fuel and pull timing under boost with just a few clicks. Pretty simple bolt-on.
I had the low end covered with the small cam so u wanted a little more top end with the rising boost curve of the supercharger. I think it makes peak torque at 4,500 now.. and peak hp at 6500. I think it's making around 625hp.
The supercharger claims to be capable of 775hp.
I bumped my compression with the tiny 56cc chambers. Maybe that's why the software power estimates seem high.
She pulls 22" hg at idle. In the sniper software, I can pull the idle down to 400 and she purrs like a kitten.
It's in a k2500 pickup so I wanted low end torque for the heavy truck. It's a good setup for me.
Badarse setup man! Ive ran a similar combo with a torqstorm blower. Im a fan of the sniper stuff especially for boost
I want to see some vortec heads on a 355 at the dyno maxed out
The dingle ball 355 has vortec heads and will be back with a roller cam once they are available again
@@cuttersperformance the dingle ball was far from maxed out and made impressive power for a budget build.
I'm quite curious, but roller cam it should be 440- 450 peak.
I've got a 358 with 13:1 pistons and vortec 906 heads. Air gap intake I'm building it for a mud truck. Had a thumpr cam in it before what do you recommend for a good cam that sounds good but makes good low to mid power
I'm picking up a 1st gen lt1 small block chevy built up to a 355 11.1 compression what's a good set of head gaskets to bring compression down for blow threw procharger
I wonder how much better (if any) this combo would perform with a set of the aluminum Flotek 180cc heads?
Probably no change
The 350 and 30 over 355 are great engines then I did a 383 and WOW what an engine for torque so no more 350s for me.
So a stock vortec engine with ported heads & 160 exhaust valves, what's the maximum cam that will still run with the stock efi or the upgraded spider with the injectors at the ends? Have a suburban we use to tow 2 sleds at times & it's weak.
The 1.6 ex valves are great but not necessarily needed for alot of mild cam NA builds. Cams like comps cam XR270 work well but will need custom tuning to work with any factory efi. There's no cam worth swapping that doesnt need some sort of tuning needed to run properly
Fantastic torque from a 355! Would a Melling 22280 roller cam and Vortec heads put out similar numbers with the same compression?This is the cam that I will be using. Your build combo sounds like the best of both worlds. Thanks.
Faily similar results, ive used that cam many of times with good results. Add 1.6 ex valves and porting will help your combo
How much of a difference do you think it'd be with a howards rattler cam instead 🤔 The smallest of the 3

461's were great for the their time but they dont compare to just about any aftermarket head.
The machine work/porting needed to make them as good as a average aftermarket head is worth more than biying a set of aluminum heads (maybe not at the current state of things lol)

Have you or anyone else run a single turbo on this exact block or aZZ4 block with same Cam and lift specifications??????
What would happen if you added AFR 195cc heads? More horsepower ? Less Torque?
Same size runner, properly more torque and more hp
@@cuttersperformance thanks for the reply. My boss has a 355 SBC with AFR 195 heads, Edlebrock Victor Jr intake, brawler carb, Crane Cam that is almost too aggressive for the street in a Nova. He's clams 550hp. You think that's realistic?
Is it possible yes, the heads can support it. But you would need some decent compression and a heck of a cam to make a real deal 550 hp 355. Most decent AFR 195 street/strip builds are in the 450 to 500 hp range
@@cuttersperformance thank you for your response. Have a good weekend.
Hey man been watching the channel I found some 441 heads says they are 76cc but someone put 202 values in them I can get them for $300 are they worth buying thanks for any info thanks
They were a great head for their time but compared to any head nowadays not so great. But if they are all done up and ready to go for $300 then they will work good for a mild budget build.
It takes about a $1000 in machine work to fully recondition a old set of heads so $300 seems pretty cheap?

@PISS-CUTTER Performance have a look at my RUclips small block Chevy. Twin 2.5" exhaust to the rear bumper, th-400 and 3:001 gears, Street drivable, daily driver, cruise around low speed, hit it at the track, and has done a 1.46 sixty foot time. Has a 10second 1/4 et. potential if it had traction from about the sixty foot timer to half track.
Like to see same setup on a 406…….. wonder if it hit 500ft lbs
The stroker version video is coming up and its 500+ ftlbs! Same idea a pump gas/vacuum accessory friendly build
How much was that cam set up ? Total , cam , lifters , push rods , timing chain and valve springs, ( possibly stud girdle ) ?
Its about 2 to 3 times the prices to go roller instead of flat tappet. Flat tappets are a risk these days with the current issue with bad lifters. It only takes one bad one out of the set and your tearing it all down again.
I dont have a exact price as I had a bunch of these parts already.
But a roller cam and retro fit lifters setup starts around $900 usd
Very nice

It would be slightly over stock but what I had good luck with when I couldn't afford a cam I just advanced it 4 deg to get more low end grunt for the ok yeah I did it for better burnouts lmao and it did them very very well in a 73 square body that was originally a six cylinder truck so it had a 373:1 gear ratio and I was able to aquire a limited slip carrier that my buddy had in his cutlass but it used to slip on occasion so we tightened up the shim pack and installed the whole carrier
I found the tallest tires I could find I forget the size but they were tall and once they got spinning and I let off the brake it did some long burnouts posi

That is a MUST but expensive for a person with an average income .
Yeah you are 100% right, its become expensive especially these days
400hp flywheel with no accessories is gonna end up about 300 dynojet wheel hp. Wow.
Yeah probably abit over 300 whp
Most engines built for the street are not "built for the street" and have No idle quality and no bottom end drivability.
Love to see a 400 small block with an RV cam built for 87 octane and some gas mileage.
Ive been trying to get my hands on a decently priced 400 for the channel, would love to do a budget low octane build with vortec heads 🤔
@@cuttersperformance I have a block (nothing else) but the bore is in great shape.
Had an old car I wanted to build it for.
What I want to do with it is build it for a square body Chevy 4x4.
I'd use a quadrajet, iron exhaust manifolds and run the compression around 9.0- 9.5:1.
That's a lot of torque's from a 3fidy
Wait till you see the stroker torque haha
@@cuttersperformance most ppl over cam street engines. If you go over 230 duration your losing the tourques where you drive it most. If you ask me there is no suck cridder as street/strip
Put a 355 together I call leftovers for my demolition derby car. I I have a short of it on my page.
Can’t find you on Instagram?
Piss_cutter_performance
did you have a point you were trying to make??
Not sure I know what you mean?
Your hand is in the way.
I have this set up in my 84 buick lesabre with a 250 shot check my channel out
Oh good it makes the same power as a stock 6l
Your heads aren't flowing at .510 lift.
Those Iron Eagles have a great .400 lift flow, shittty .500 flow. According to your flow chart it shows flow is getting worse after .500 and at .510 your into excessive valve spring parasitic loss range. Id choose a .485-500 lift cam, no more
You gotta remember the valve only sees peak lift once in the duration of the lift. A head that flow peak at say .500 lift will almost always benefit from a cam that goes to say .550+. No engine that I've ever tried swapping a high ratio rocker arm has lost power on the dyno with more lift. Some engines gain more than others depending on how undersized the cam is, but I've never lost power from more lift (1.5 rocker to 1.6 rocker). Hes a extreme example but we have a super stock SBC race engine, the head peak flow at .750-800 lift (400 cfm). The engine was down over 150hp with a 780 lift cam vs a .950 lift cam.
