that combination made a best of 727 HP .....The Duster ran 9.96 at 134.8 MPH on Oregon pump gas through the exhaust with the air cleaner on weighing 3450 lbs with me in it with that combination Now how does that compute

Bottom line is I tell you guys what the results are....

True.... .....and if Andy actually put his stuff into a car and raced it, there wouldn't be any question, but he doesn't and apparently has no plans to....

As far as AndyF and his results maybe some of you doubters ought to pitch in some cash to help pay for more dyno time with the stipulation that you get copies of the dyno sheets Some people do, some people talk.

You're right Cab, Andy is doing a great job of "talking".... ....maybe I'll start a thread next week "talking" about how I built a hydraulic cam'd 318 with iron heads and manifolds that made 650hp on Oregon pump gas and then I can write a book about it....but I won't post any Dyno sheets or run it in a car, since you'll believe me....

Since you asked....695hp....

Sounds like you've been listening to long to some of them Okie TV star street racers , Especially if you beleive you wiil convince to beleive stuff that you make up that doesn't make any sence at all Me thinks to many keyboard racers read to much stuff written by magazine scribes that print a bunch of hoprsecrap that some engine builder or racers fed them that they know nothing about so every body takes it as the gospel Same thing on on line and purchasble HP calculators, there written by people that make thier living selling software, their not racers using the results they made
As I have said before, we that offer insights to those learning should make sure that we do no harm, ever Intentional or otherwise

Come on Andy, quit slacking already. We need more data (and more books, and more parts comparing dyno testing, and innovative product development, etc..etc...!!! And make sure all that comes out of your pocket while you're at it! We want more!!

Got the engine back on the dyno for some more testing last week. I was mostly interested in working on the oiling system. I had a new dry sump tank design to try out and I had a flow meter hooked up to the oil pump for the first time.

At 7000 rpm this engine has about 8 gallons per minute of oil flow. That is a little less than I expected given the unbushed lifter bores and the valve cover oilers. The oil pump section is only 1.0 inches wide but it doesn't have any trouble maintaining 75 psi at 8 gpm with 5w30 oil. Anyone else have any data on oil flow rates? I've never seen anything published other than the Milodon claim that their Mopar pump flows 15 gpm.

The air coming into the dyno cell was only 37 degrees so I had to add a bunch of jet size. Uncorrected power was way up given the cold air. Barometric pressure was 30.07 so it was a mineshaft air day. Altitude was -1500 ft when I looked at the gauge. Cold air and Q16 combine to make a lot of raw power.

I am curious as to the suction side of the pump/inlet
tube on what kind of restriction it shows on a gauge...
I assume you took the flow reading from the oil in
or out of the filter area

The suction side of the pump is fed with a #16 line coming off the bottom of the oil tank. The tank is positioned slightly above the pump so there is positive head. There should be almost zero restriction on the suction side of the pump.

I measured the oil flow on the pressure side of the pump. Once the oil goes thru the filter I routed it thru a flow gauge and then into the block.

---

Thats what I figured for the flow meter... I didnt
know you had a big -16 supply line
EDIT
But I forgot you are running a dry sump now

Even if the dyno is happy, I still enjoy seeing the difference different parts make......

Sasquatch and an Andy F. dyno sheet..........both talked about, but never really captured..........

---

OK Hold the boat there..
Sasquatch makes more than any I have ever seen on a monthly basis the old fashioned way..
without ever bragging, just Doing!

He is always " Keeping it Squatchy" around here. They have dynoed MORE Mopar combos than any builder I know of. The head porter they use has won several Daytona 500's and called on by Mother Mopar for consultation many times.
Thing is most that are interested in the details want that Hard Earned info for free--ain't happening! This is the real world and that info is
what they put the kids through college with so No you can't have it for free but..every customer I know that has placed confidence in them walks away in wonder after watching their new engine run and the multiple National wins and championships just keep adding up..............

8 gpm is about 4 feet/sec of fluid velocity in a #16 line which should be fine for a suction line. If I need to make any changes to the inlet hose I might upgrade to a #20 line since that would reduce the suction resistance and the flow velocity even more. My inlet line is only about 3 feet long so I don't think there is any issue with the #16 line but bigger is better on the inlet side.

Did you guys ever run any oil pump flow tests in the dyno room?

---

I was never involved in any of that but I'm sure
they ran them... hell... even with something like
that you wouldnt need a dyno... just apply enough
restriction to simulate the engine and spin the pump
