Fwiw- hoping that's the case.

Thanks


As long as I have money and time I'll keep testing. I'm in the process f sending the Indy intake to Wilson for porting. Not sure if I'll also convert it to EFI at the same time or wait for a third round of testing to go EFI.

I might send the heads to Jesel for rocker arms. They haven't seen a set of 270 heads yet so I might be the guinea pig for them. If that deal works out then I'll send the heads to Dwayne also since both places are on the East Coast. If the deal with Jesel doesn't work out then I'll just keep running the T&D rockers.

In any case it will probably be a couple of months before I'm back on the dyno with this engine and these heads. My next project is to get the 514 back on the dyno with EFI and Q16.



Well it ended up being 5 months not a couple but I am ready to take this 470 with the 270 heads back to the dyno again. I pulled off the dry sump system and will go with a wet sump pan and an external belt drive pump. I'll be interested to see how that works.

The more interesting test for me will be the Wilson M1 vs. the Wilson Indy intake. The Wilson ported Indy intake has 18% more internal volume. It is taller and has the full MW runners. The Wilson M1 made a little better power than the unported Indy intake last time I ran them but I figure the Wilson porting on the Indy intake should now make it the top of the pile.
