According to the comments below, this 455 CI-based big block Buick goes from 2500 RPM to 7000 in 2nd on the rollers.

Hope you're sitting down around the 18-sec mark...

Now... picture 80% of that brawn in a car this angry:

I knew what was gonna happen, and I STILL went

and on the subject of revving, i know someone who is working an a DZ302 out of a 69 z28... i know they rev high, but he claims with this motor he'll launch off of 9000RPM and shift at 10K,,,, i thought it sounded sketchy but this guy is known to do some crazy $h!.... when he's done i know hearng it launch will sound like the world coming to an end!

Noice!!

Some people cannot let off the cool aid they drink so forgive them.

Very cool. Sounds like there's a lot of whistling in the video; is that a supercharger I hear before and after he romps on it?

Balt: It'll be awesome when your car is finally done; I've always wanted to do something like that. I've thought about building up a Cadillac 500 out of a '70 Eldorado (the only one that never really got choked down by government regulatons) and dropping it in a nice '55-'60 Coupe DeVille or Series 62 coupe. Keep at it and stop being so damn stingy with the photographs!

but.... but.... pushrods r teh sux!

zomg! you musta put V-tec in that....... only wai possible

:lol::lol:

wow

OMG VTEC JUST KICKED IN, YO!

Gotta get me a '59 something...

(Buick, Impala, El Camino, Eldorado)

>>"...is that a supercharger I hear before and after he romps on it?"<<

I believe that's the rollers bringing it up to 2500 RPM (the standard starting point for chassis dyno runs). That, and there's precious few SC BBBs out there, I only know of one... and I'm pretty sure this car would be quicker if SC'ed. Buick V-8 guys are near unanimously a N/A bunch; they don't "need" power adders. :wink:

A guy I used to know built a "junkyard" Pontiac 455 he installed in a '71 Firebird for drag racing. That car did high 9s in the quarter (N/A, no NOSSSSS) and turned over 8500 RPM doing it. Still, multitudes will tell you IBC motors cannot rev worth their block's scrap value, because it's just not possible. :wink:

Here's a blown BBBuick: 8.88 @ 152... a bit quicker.

The first video is just... wow...

Had a friend who had a 428 Pontiac that would rev to 10,500+RPM. He build an exhaust system that used backpressure to keep the valvetrain from floating. He had it in an 84 Cutlass that would run in the low 9's.

Big V-8's will do some serious stuff.

And Oldsmoboi, your wrong, a VTEC will blow up if you do that to it...and your right...it is amzing how wrong the "ricers" are...
