The "book" that came with my ERA says:
665 horse power (was listed 675 and X'd out 665 hand written in) without side pipes. WITH side pipes 96 horse power lost.

Crane roller cam but I have no specs. Roller rockers. 12.5 to 1 compression. Twin 660 cfm Holleys, 75 jets all around.

Radical idle, don't run "good" till about 3000, then "explodes" with power to around 7000. I drive it to work, but it takes a certain "technique", it aint always easy. I'm in trouble if I get stuck in traffic!

I backed off the timing, changed the jets to 68's and set the rev limit at 6,000. I lost some horse power (no problem there). It's "OK" on the street now, but 500 plus horse is a handful. Once in 3rd gear traction is no problem with the BIG letter bias Goodyears.

Close Ratio top loader, 3:31 rear gear.
At 6000 rpm:
1st 62mph, 2nd 85, 3rd 111, 4th 143

,,,just thought I'd throw out some numbers, comments/critiques welcome. I'm still learning the car.
