I am running 4.5 power valve, 65 jets in center, and 78s on the passenger side on outboards with 83s on drivers side. I am also using Promax metering plate for the center and the jettable plates for the outboards.

Thanks for that.
I guess, since staggered jetting seems to be the norm; there must be a fuel distribution problem in manifold.

I'll have to check my 4 corner jet notes:
Don't remember a stagger.
dyno'ed 650lb-ft around 3800
tops about 5400

H beam
forged Ross
Edel heads
1.75 header-> 3" X
.5" lift custom cam
700+ rpm idle
493->11" centerforce->Hemi 4 spd->742 8.75 3.55
(Plans on a 3.54 Dana)

If you want info let me know, I'd have to get it.

Those are some impressive numbers! Where did the horsepower come in at?

Limelight440. Michael, please give me what you can in settings. Even the cam specs,if your open to sharing as i don't mind buying another cam for improvement.
650ft lbs is mighty fine bum shifting grunt.
I would really love to get this Six-Pac going, so all info would be gladly appreciated!
Regards, Mike.

If you're interested in power a little lower in the rpm range (681hp@5500RPM & 685TQ @ 4500rpm), I'd be happy to share my cam specs with you. Use even a bigger cam the numbers would only go up from there, but at the expense of some low end...

I will have to get my notes, I will post tonite.

I must correct my self minorly, as I looked at
my dyno numbers again:

643lb-ft was @ 4000
548hp was @ 5100 but only hicups 10hp to 5550

This is an excel chart that I made from
the dyno print out numbers. Unfortunately the full run
was lost but I do have the print out from the out-boards opening (2800ish) on.

My email is big-mike@xtra.co.nz if you wish to keep specs quite.
Also, anyone who wishes to write direct, this is fine by me. Welcome the chat.

2x 62 & 4x 93

Edelbrocks are standars 84cc (no dress work)
compression I'm told ended up 10.3:1
although I thought it would have been a little higher. I keep meaning to do a hot crank over.

Cam is from Cam Techniques of Sarasota Florida 941 727 5552
int & exh lift are .504 at valve
304deg (240@ .050")
104deg intake centerline installed 4 deg advanced
I can give the Cam Techniques Grind Number to order if you want it.

Mike:
I dont' know what my email is listed as, but rest assure
you can find me at chesna.mi@neu.edu

Mike

WOW!!! You ain't kiddin!!!

I thought my # 86's were a tad on the heavy side.
Maybe he means .093"....or about a 82 jet.

That's a LOT of fuel!!!

Not to hijack thread but I just pulled my plugs and I am running rich. What do you guys recommend for a 446" with aluminum manifold and Eddy heads?

Hi there guys!
No! Your not high-jacking; everyone's comments are welcome.
I suspect SuperWrench is about right. I remember Steve Dulcich doing the manifold test & with the Six-Pac found #84's wre doing the bussiness.
Whats screwing me up is, I jetted with these numbers & #63 centre carb & have the 2ndries opening early, but not bogging, & then i took this set-up off & put the 650-D/P with Weiand Xcelerator on & instantly had more pull & more revs as well.

I was told that the sixpack manifolds are really restrictive.

Hey, Super Gas; I would try #78's on both sides.
I'm gunna borrow a friends "Inovator Gas Analizer" & do some hard acceleration & just see exactly where the mixture is.
Probably a week before i get the time though.
Will post my findings when i do this.

It's simply not true. There is room for considerable improvement, and I had mine improved at Hughes Engines getting nearly 700 hp out of my 493" motor with a hydraulic cam!! Thanks to their deep porting work, I have great lowend and some considerable topend performance out of my sixpack. I understand they've gotten even better with them since then!!!

(This from Hughes Engine's Website:

Stock average 302.2 CFM

Stock scatter 272-331 CFM 59 CFM spread

Modified average 332.6 CFM

Modified scatter 306-366 CFM 60 CFM spread

STAGE 2
Average 346 CFM (44CFM more than stock)
Scatter 315-374 CFM (59CFM spread)

Notes: We work on a lot of Big Block 6-pack intakes. They are probably one of our more popular ones to modify. The #1 and #4 ports are hard to improve much and without them in the mix, the modified average goes from 332.6 CFM to 342.5 CFM and the modified scatter goes from 326 CFM to 366 CFM. These are serious numbers for big block intake manifolds, especially ones that can pass for “stock”. Expect this manifold to get more flow improvement as time passes. We have dynoed a hydraulic cammed 493 cu in with stage 1 version at nearly 700HP."

Yes, there are better manifolds for more top end, but I don't think the sixpack manifolds can be considered restrictive.
