comp cam 260 or other mild cam, port exhaust ports, and a edelbrock preformer aluminum intake seems to turn our puller 460s into import eaters. soon as i can get the cash together im doin it right after headers. what headers are you running how much did it cost you headers and get a new y-pipe welded

There is a recipe for a 425-450hp 460ci motor in popular hotrodding magazine this month.
It consists of porting the heads, using an aftermarket manifold, bigger cam, headers/exhaust...and all the other odd ball stuff to make it work.

every one just agree he got beat if he was racing and the guy beat him by a car length then he got beat doesn't matter what it was. if he had been on a mule he still got beat, guess next time he better be careful what he pulls up beside of lol. might be a turbo charged pinto lol, but i dont think i would have told it ide kept stuff like that to my self....

ok, ever hear of power to weight ratio, obviously he would win. Just cause you have a bigger engine doenst mean you can win. Tryed to tell this to my cousin with a 2003 Mustang GT, he came to the relization when he got smoked by a SRT4

weight had nothing to do with it he was willing to race the guy so he thought he could win which he didnt so he got beat.
maybe next time he should tell the guy give me a head start i weigh more than you do lol.

Now, the daily driver trucks tires would not survive anything dreaming of those speeds and the 460 is in risky teritory shooting above 5000, but the HP needed to push an F series shaped "BRICK" by it self into the 200 mph range would be in the thousands of hp, not to mention pulling a trailer that had 40,000 lbs that had to be specialy designed to survive those speeds????

What if he was going downhill? What if the wind was helping him? What if the wind was helping him AND he was going downhill? The weight would work to his advantage if going downhill and the not so aerodynamic trait of the truck and trailer (or whatever it was) would work to his advantage if the wind were helping him.
If the conditions were right there would be no limit to how fast he could travel with even 75000 pounds behind him with the 460 shut off and the trans in neutral....meaning zero horsepower from the motor. Just get to the right kind of hill on a windy day.

nope i disagree his weight had nothing to do with it he got beat in a race he wanted to run just to show his buddies he had a 460. now when it comes right down to it yes i agree there is a lot of difference but he wanted to race. and he knows all about he is heavier but he still wanted to do this so just agree he got his @*** kicked in a lop sided race.
