355 SBC's don't make any power and are slow?!?!?!

According to YouTube keyboard Racers and mechanics a small block Chevy 355 cannot make any power is slow and the only way to make them go fast is pushed him off a cliff

So apparently there are some YouTube keyboard racers and mechanics that think a 355 Chevy is junk and slow and the only way to make him go fast is to push them off a cliff. I am not the type of person that goes on social media claiming to have this or that. But what I do have is plenty of videos and pictures Time Slips Dyno sheets showing what I have and what I build in my spare time. I may not have the fastest race cars and my 1968 Camaro may not be an overly fast street car when it's done but I guess I could be like mobile mechanic and other YouTube keyboard Racers and sit here and claim to have a 8 second car with nothing to back it up. I think it's about time for some people to shut their pie hole or back up the claim of this 8 second car.

It's from the LS keyboard crowd. They never even built an engine and they are all experts. They just read all the magazine stories and think the LS is the only engine worth talking about. They are mostly young with no background in drag racing or street racing like we used to do in the old days. That's where we learned about the SBC and how to make it run. Just look back over the years of racing in every class and the SBC is the one that did it all. Without the success of the SBC there would not be an LS. The SBC is a great engine and these dyno sheets prove it. All across America this engine reigns supreme. No other engine has had so much stuff made for it and every new thing is designed for the SBC first. Granted the LS is better in many ways to be sure but no one should look down their nose at this wonderful engine.

We built my buddy's pump gas 355 11.1- 6 inch rod afr heads victor intake 750 demon big tube headers lunati hyd roller 560ish lift believe it was 4-7 swap Dyno was 540hp

[fullnoyz]

Awesome hp and a even better sound than a raspy LS

[robertmayer]

back in the day the guys running mod would turn the sbc to 10, 000 rpm all the time

Not only can a 355 cui make great power they can take a brutal beating over & over-ask my dirt track stock car 👍🏼

There is no 12 step program for stupid. Numbers as this fellow shows don't lie. Glad he brought this up to viewers!

[BangBang]

355 is a sleeper, ya better have ya shit together when you line up

[JT-SE-OHIO]

Compression, air flow and fuel makes any sbc come to life that's what makes them the best engine ever designed. Cheapest HP per dollar. Thanks for sharing your build/proof.

[stevie..d..pontiactransamm]

Those are some pretty good numbers. I love SBC myself.

[blueridgemountainprepper]

Pretty decent #s for a 355, as for the 383 comment I had to lol, you can easily get 650 plus, easily, even over 700 from a well built 383 NA, my personal fav sbc will always be the ole sb 400, hard to outrun the torque of a well built 406

[TrippleNickel]

HELL YES MIKE YOU ARE THA MAN, , LOOK OVER THE COMPUTER RACERS LMAO!! There are some “Mechanics” that just don’t know how to make power.... much love!!!

[henrysmith]

I have been running a 355 for years with a Procharger and it unreal. No problems and all with non roller flat tappet cam. I shift it at 7000 rpm all day long.

[rosqui]

The thing is that every body is adding alot of nitrous or boost to a ls or coyote but if you try it whit a sbc you gonna have great number too

[Foryourinfo]

There's no replacement for displacement. Except compression 😉

YOUR WASTING YOUR TIME MAN CHEVY HATERS R JUST PEA BRAINS

[steelcitycaprice.]

I love the options I have with my 355 and love the post !!👌😎
