For full features; Go to Engine Doesnt Have Much Power!!! Help!
hey guys,
I have a 1968 Firebird, which my father and I recently put in a GM 350
HO crate engine (I know... GM in Pontiac...sorry) with a 700R4
transmission. To my knowledge this is alot more horsepower, and a better
transmission I had in before with stock 327 and 2 speed power glide
transmission.... BUT I feel like it has less power then it did with the old
crappy engine and transmission. I DO understand the cam and transmission
have to do with WHERE to power goes.... but this engine is suppose to be
"great" but the car can barley spin its wheels...the car sounds great but
the bark is worse then the bite. Is there something that can be restricting
the power that the mechanics have done for "my protection" that my father
asked them to do......... or is it i have to buckle down and get a new cam?
Any input would be GREAT... thanks.
