Dyno
So today was the big day!!
First pull 3.5in pulley on pump gas 29deg. timing 571hp @ 5900 & 566 ft-lb @ 5100 a bit lower then expected but I was still happy!
2nd pull 2.85 pulley same gas & timing, 611hp @ 6000 & 589 ft-lb @5000.
He only ran then to 6200 being a 377ci they should be slightly lower RPM & little torque monsters.
Gonna get the frickin fittings for the boost gauge & a 2.66 pulley & see what that does!
Still on the stand he is confident he can get it to 630hp with a slight carb tune little timing & some more break in time. Biggest problem I had was didnt have the correct fitting for the boost gauge so I have no idea were we were at with boost, Ill know when we dyno the other one when I get back from Mexico in two weeks! I think its good right there had a perfect two thread heat range on the plug beautiful golden brown burned right to the start of the bend on the plug. I didnt know much about air/ fuel mixture but the meter said 12.1 at WOT oil pressure 70psi @ idle 90 psi at WOT.
Im dont know very much about high performance engine but WOW did that sound awesome!!
He also had a 830hp BBC all aluminum on the dyno that thing was incredible made mine sound like a Honda Spree..........
I didnt take a video of the 2nd pull, I will on the next engine witt the smaller blower pulley it really screams!
First start up & idle:
