New roller 502-peak HP, prop question
I had a new 502 dropped in my 270 powerquest. I had the motor converted to a full roller setup(hydraulic). I went with a dominator intake, 850 Holley, rect. port heads, stock compr., ported manifolds, and a crane cam.(#139011). It's 226/234 with 610/587 lift on a 112. The motor was not dynoed. Any guesses where peak HP would be?

292/298 Duration @ .004
230/236 Duration @ .050 .598"/.610" Lift 114 Lobe Center. These are cam specs on a 500efi I guess your hp @ 500-525 ..5000-5200rpm I guess a 26p 4 blade bravo1 |

Thanks for the input. It looks like the cam has specs almost identical to the 731. I told them I wanted reliability, no reversion issues, and specs similar to a HP500. I'd really like to know where peak HP is. Should I prop it to 5200,5300?

Well, you need some gurru engine guys to help on this..but from my experience your engine torque will max out around 4000rpm while your hp will keep climbing and drop off around 5600-5800 rpm..valves will float in the low 6000 rpms...so your optimum & safe operating range should be 5000-5400 ish..depending on how hard you want to run her...test a prop and go from there to get your desired rpm...
