90 miles.

IF i can find a 1/4 or a 1/2 spacer I think I will be in like flint....once I swap to the 850 since it doesn't have a choke tower I can go from the 2.25 filter to the 2 inch filter

 

I'd have replied sooner but my boss sent me to Rockville, MD saturday with only a few hours notice. I just got home. Impressive numbers. It'd be nice if you could fit a spacer under the hood, I bet that would reach the 400hp mark. How close is Rockville to you?

Sorry...must have missed it...I scanned quickly

The torque is a little weird seemed to throw everyone for a little loop. Most times on a N/A car it has been my expereince to find the ft/lbs higher than the HP. The old motor build dyno had VERY similar torque numbers but 100 less HP. It is still a ton of power for a street car though, just odd. I'm sure Art can tell me why its like that. ::

 

Good numbers dodge, sounds like you need to get upgrade your fuel system and you'll be set. I guessed 398 HP .. 2nd place, not you. I was way off on the TQ though, what was I thinking that 400+ cubic inches was going to make over 400 ft lbs of torque.

 

only on the dyno....as you can see the shift point is alot lower.

 

Yeah, and you told us you wouldn't turn it past 6200 also... :: Art & I were pretty close if you'd stuck to that!

I still think you're nuts turning anything with a 4" stroke to 7K... ::

 

nobody...some of the HP were close....but they all came in high on the torque....as did I.

Exchevman was the closest on HP with a guess of 390....I was 2nd with a guess of 405

CLoney and Art tied on Torque at 360....but cloney guess lower RPMS so I have to call him on that one.

Hukares made the most correct comment that he thought it would pull past 6k....which it did..had flat HP up to 7k when we shut down

 

Hi Nick, sorry about the late post, ( went to the drags ::, had a great time.)

all I can say is :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: ::

BTW, who guessed the poll???

Good job, I am very jazzed on that run ::.

 

Congrats, Nick!

Now you HAVE to get DT to CF 4.0, I want to go for a ride! ::

 

Your dam right your gonna make the 400 otherwise Mark 157364 will come back and haunt you. Oh yea not everyone knows those stories,

The stuff legends are made of...

I went up to Lorocca's performance in English Town.
As for 400 I am very happy now, but once I get this 850 set up, I am sure we will get there....we literally just pulled a carb he has from somewhere else and strapped it on...we made no mods to the carb to tweak if for the specific motor...so I feel confident the next time I am there (probly in the fall) it will be 3 pulls and out with sheets over 400.

 

Nice Nick. Gotta get 400. Did you go back to JD's or somewhere else? MY 408c made the most power with a 800dp carb. RAY ::

 

Looks like all that hard work, pain and suffering paid off. Very Nice!!

 

Way to go Nick, Very Very Impressive!

 

Very cool.

Just shows you how much power can be found by a good dyno tuner.

I think you're right. I saw a dyno test with a 347/AOD & 9". Both flywheel and chassis were posted, the car lost a 100 hp through the drivetrain

 

Nice Numbers Good to see some nice torque down low, Must be the extra cubic inches.
I cannot wait to get mine on the rolls. I have a similar setup with a little less duration, more lift, higher comp. due to the 4V closed chambers. And it not stroked. The main reason to get it on the dyno for me is that bit of fine tuning to get the most out of the Speed demon 750 DP.

 

Nice, Nick, real nice. I think from the looks of that little upswing at 7k that you might have left a little on the table !
Might have broken the 400 mark around 72 or 73... I sure can't second guess you about stopping at 7 though - I know what breaking parts sound like too- ::

 

Good job Nick. I think I may have to throw an 850 on FBD's 429. I am thinking that will help a lot too. but we will see.

 

Only 393? jeez...what a crappy engine...you need an Art Engine...

j/k, nice run...glad to hear it didn't blow up this time.

picked it up and then gave it back Bill....I need to get my 850 rebuilt, we used one the dyno guy sitting in the trunk of a car in the garage. Drove it back home with the 770 on it.

With the 770 after all the tuning it maxed out at just under 330 hp and just over 300 ft lbs.....there was a noticable inprovment in the car with just the changes made to the timing, air fuel and jets....but once I get the 850 polished up and running right it will be a much larger change

 

Because I have an AOD and a 9 inch rear, I estimate 20% power loss. I may be high but its so hard to know for sure...I think it has 500 or so flywheel.

 

Nice work. So what is that about 460 HP at the engine?

 

GREAT numbers!!! It really liked the bigger carb. Wonder if a 950 would shake any more power out of it ::
Am i reading that right, did you pick up 70 hp o nthe dyno, bet you could tell with the butt meter on the ride back home.
