with a 800 hp goal. and looking to run 9.00 with the dart..i did some home work and found a guy buy the name brett miller.even though he is 3000 miles away i sent him my w8 heads.that flowed 338cfm with a 2.15 intake valve.14 days later i had my heads back home. and on the flow bench.please keep in mind all that shipping time.. these heads will flow 395cfm.on any bench with a 2.15 intake valve. we could not believe your eyes i feel like when i meet brett i meet a friend for life . he walk me through this w8 build.. my motor made 823hp at 7700 rpm and and 638lb at 5600rpm. this was at QMP racing here in so.cal. we did not tune on it much. a jet change and a little timing was it. keep in mind this is a 13to1 pump e85 cast intake single carb motor. more could have been found but 800 was the goal.. i want to thank brett AND A BIG THANKS TO BRAD @QMPRACING. and justadart

Thank you Shiloh for the kind words.

I know this has been long time to hear her sing.

Glad you worked your a$$ off on this.

Very Nice

Congrats, some nice numbers for sure.

so Brad knows how to tune on that dyno I live down the street from his shop ddid he do any machine for you?

Are you in the valley ? Where are you getting your e85 at ??

brad did all the machine work top shelf machine shop. from the keyway lifters to the 55mm cam tunnel.

2 station here in norwalk our north hollywood/ glendora or a google might find you more

Congrats Shiloh. The headaches are finally over.

I would like to add a few notes to this.

A)QMP's dyno is notoriously tight. It would show more power just about anywhere else.

B)Mike at QMP who runs the Dyno is great to work with, and I would feel good about him running the controls on anything I would bring through the door.

C)This was on pump E85 running through a Pro systems SV-1 carb

I have to say I was very impressed with the head work by Brett, and the block work by Brad.

It was a fun day at the dyno for sure, and I am happy Whitedart didn't punch me in the mouth when I started singing "who put the rods out" before the 1st pull

Awesome!

Man, you`ve got yourself a beast there Shiloh...............that puppy should scream............

Very cool, Brett is good people! Care to share any details with us?

That should run good!

I bet the guys at the dyno were going, "dayum"...

heard through the grapevine that you were really close to dyno time. Glad to hear after all you've been through it's finally alive!!! Probably catch up to you in October at Famoso. Is the car ready for that mill??? headers etc?

That's a nice piece and won't kill you in the pocket book with valve spring and lifter $ .
Have Fun with it man.

Hey shilo, that's great news. Cant wait to see it at the track.

Can you fill us in on the rest of the engine combo please.

How many cubes.. nice numbers

Glad to hear you got it running

It's a 440.

I believe it's a Ritter block too.

And it runs! Lol

this is a 4,185 bore ross pistons oliver 6.250 rod and a 4in king crank tall deck 9.56 w8 heads, 2.15in 1.60ex zero deck flat top big valve reliefs 13o1 55mm roller 937 keywall 850 wheel.wet sump 420intake opened to 4500 top off with a sv1 burning pump e85. with every pull we would pick up 1or2 hp.it got late so we ended the day with with about 10to20 hp on the table........i think the AFR'S were aroud 11.1 to 11.4 i might have to get in to the oil pan and lower the oil pressure down we seen over 90 psi at WOT. The car will go to chassie shop the end of july so im looking at 2 to 3 months there.

Very cool! Keep us updated, saw you on TV, stock suspension car right??

Good stuff.....

Next week Brett gets a whole bunch of stuff for my 440 w 9 build . It should be interesting as it will be built for 100+ size nos jets on a plate.Bretts heads with some chamber softening work by Extreme/ Slawko.

what are your plans are you looking at a class. these 4in arms make sick torque i build mine for a small shot.i said if it did not make 800 i would just start stacking plates till i drove over the crank and rods

Yes Ultra...The reason is the weight im at with my cuda.I had a mustang i was gonna put the 15* motor in but 2 cars and 1 garage dont work + a bud crashed his firebird grudge racing and needed a car.The mustang is in good use and making him $.

I know you come from a grudge race background (same here) but man I'd love to hear more about your car! Sounds like you're going where I wanna go with my W

Madness

Nice engine. you'll have some fun with that.

Nice combination and great numbers!

Got to love those W8's

Sounds like a good combo you can have some fun with..

Congratulations my friend, I'm very happy for you. You are now available to put this step behind you and move on. We both know what a long unpleasant process this is. I sure hope I'm the next one to make a post such as this. Again, Very happy for you.

Thanks for the post. Looks like great fun!I really need to get to work on my w-8 project. I just cant seem to get away from work this time of year. Does your car have a glide or torqueflite? Good Luck with it, I'll bet it flies!

From what I've seen here David is that the trend is to go powerglide with these builds although many did run the torque flight in the beginning. I'll be running my 727 for awile, but it appears the writing may be on the wall...

Real nice!
