The results looked promising before it started to lean out at 4800 rpm. Corrected wheel numbers were 440HP and 488/TQ. I would expect there to be at least another 60HP/20TQ in it. When I planned the build, I ran it through a couple of programs and I came up with 560 HP - 580 HP. The engine is a 383/450 stroker. My question is, what percentage of driveline loss could be expected from a 4 sp./Dana?

I ran mine and was not impressed with my #'s. I had a blown intake manifold gasket and was sucking oil on both sides, it was 95* and humid and my car overheated due to the lame fan in front of the car. I need a redo

Photobucket sucks

Subtract 25% from my posted numbers to get the real numbers... Quote: I ran mine and was not impressed with my #'s.

I need a redo I'm not disappointed in the numbers; in fact, just the opposite. If driveline loss is 15% and I can come in at 500 HP, the numbers will be right on target. Anything over 500 HP is a bonus... I modded the bathtub to segregate it from the intake ports. I may develop a vacuum leak (doubtful), but I won't pull in oil.

It came as a surprise to me, too that's why I wasn't prepared. It looks like I'm going to end up with something close to 77/91s. MCH Eddys...
