no dyno sheet on this motor. it was put together whit his proving combo. header are 2in hooker fender well .msd 7 al2. fuel punp is aeromovive 1000.i shift @6800b traps about 7000 .compression is 13;1 69cc head. old motor was a 30 over 440 stage 6 heads 76cc .cam was isky 660 [Email]282@50.[/Email] 1050 dom . the same 2in headers.
Iam guessing its a glide but a shift @ 6800 and another 1/8 mile and it only makes 200 RPM's more? That dont seem right.

why should he have to test it??? he paid 15 g's for a motor that does not perform. If I went from my current 600 ponies to 800 ponies even in the same set up it better do better than run the same number. besides, he all ready put it to the best test there is. He has time slips and they suck. Gonna take more than fiddlefarting around with cam timing to find what he's missing. I hate it when I see what people spend good money for and the results they get. I am done.

I'm REALLY curious who this "supposed" guru is that doesn't even provide a dyno sheet, for a $15,000 engine? That's just ludicrous! RandyB

no kidding, I wouldn't even make a post like this until I was ready to put that info out and exhausted all efforts with the builder to solve the problem.

Exactly! Hard for me to believe someone pays $15k for a engine with no dyno info? If that's the case, you're to blame as much as the engine builder. No way in hell I'm taking delivery of that engine without it being pulled and tested with dyno sheets. As Quicktree asked, have you even spoke to the engine builder? What did he say? Something just doesn't sound right here.

500" 440-1 combos are popular,prooven. I've built several 760 to 820hp for much less than $15000. That said I'd leak it before U pull it. If it leaks OK then plan revenge. Car should run mid 9's all day.
