Longrange4u,

I guess I'll look for the answer to my HP question here Have you ran it yet. I even noticed that engine came with exhaust...not a bad find by the looks of it.

Smittys close 525-550.... I'll bet the 850 is fat, try a 800.

Dyno... you think that the 850 will be fat? You think I need to jet it down or different carb?

This was in a previous post on my 496. I am running a 750 Demon Double Pumper

This is based on 496 inches at 5400rpm max

Total airflow requirements:
658.75 cfm
49.49 pounds of air.
3.36 pounds of fuel

Fuel Supply requirements:
0.56 gallons per minute for 14.7 A/F ratio.
38.66 gallons per hour for 12.8 A/F ratio.
146.33 liters per hour for 12.8 A/F ratio.

Here is the link http://www.smokemup.com/auto_math/airflow.php

the plus 15% is for marine applications based on what I have seen in this forum
