1968 Chevy Chevelle- Back On Track!
Our story begins with a chassis dyno test we performed on our '68 Chevelle at Westech Performance Group. Last month, we addressed some issues we had with pulley and belt alignment, and took that opportunity to reduce some parasitic drag. Before all that, we posted a peak horsepower reading of 419 hp at 5,750 rpm. After that test, we swapped the solid fan spacer for a more efficient clutch fan, we tossed the stock alternator pulley for a 4-inch underdrive piece, and we swapped the loose TCI Super StreetFighter converter for the tighter StreetFighter converter. After performing another jetting and timing loop, we bagged another 29 rear-wheel horsepower for a total of 448 (at 5,800 rpm). View Related Article
