I'd like to say it was the camshaft. But, there certainly can be something else going on. Unfortunately, there just wasn't alot of time there on the dyno, to really play with things. Tim pretty much had 1 day to dyno 2 engines, and head back to ohio. The dyno numbers, seemed to pretty much show, what he was, or wasn't seeing, in the boats performance.

I know, but one of your what ifs is if your exhaust is holding you back. Dyno headers might have quantified that. Did you guys happen to log vacuum on the dyno? That would tell you if your carbs are holding you back.

He was like "eh, my dyno's conservative, and its a 468" . I asked him to open the throttle all the way on the dyno console. Oops, throttle was only opening about 60%. Next pull, 761hp .
