Tom,
Congratulations on the preliminary test results! To make those numbers early on in the development phase is quite an accomplishment. Continued success in this project.

Thanks Bob, we always want more but it's nice to start high. We have already had a request to detune this setup for wedge heads and less cam. That would make a nice poker run engine. I just happen to have the cam. ![Big Grin](/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Gary: The Big Chief heads are mandatory for the big numbers. The trouble is most spread port heads are designed for drag racing NA and have very small chambers. I don't know what cam was in this engine, but by the look of the torque curve it isn't done yet.

Tom, those numbers are incredable, and you've only just begun.
I have no doubt that you will achieve your goal. Thanks for sharing with us. Keep us posted.
