Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and had a question. I've entered a hp shootout with my boss. He has a '96 Eddie Bauer Bronco and is putting on an Edelbrock intake, Performer cylinder heads, a cat-back exhaust, and might be doing roller rockers. No cam and nothing electronic though. How much rear wheel horse power do you think he will see on a dyno after everything gets slapped on?

P.S. - How much hp/torque did the 351-powered bronc's make from the factory at the flywheel? Thanks.

 

I would just concentrate on what you have to put up against it. He has a 351Windsor block right? Roller rockers without a cam is no big deal. Probably couldn't anyway without computer issues. At any rate unless the eninges are coming out to be run on an engine dyno a power-at-axle dyno incorporates everything. You get the picture.

 

Anyways you can bank on that nothing stock is over 500HP since that's the legal limit in PA. In early 70's they ran around 191HP around '87 some were 180HP. I bank on around the 200 to 250 range for newer stuff. Keep in mind the importance of torque when looking to develop rear wheel horsepower.
