yesterdays dyno results from Jakes Auto. - 07/27/11 10:24 AM
I had an issue with my car not idling and seemed to be out of tune, it was suggested here on Moparts that I take it to Jakes chassis dyno in Shelby Twp, and what an expereince it was.Right off the start we welded in a fuel to air bung and hooked it to the computer, it was determined that i was way too lean on my idle, had a fuel bowl gasket under my primary squirter making it dribble gas, and a vacuum leak. I had run multiple 11 teens with this tune beleive it or not, after all these fixes then we made our first pull. The Barracuda made 416rwhp w/397ft/lbs, 5 pulls later after jetting, recurving my distributer, and setting the timing from 42 degrees wich is what I had it at to 38 degrees, the car was making 437rwhp and 418ft/lbs. and idling like a new car with crisp throttle response. The motor is a stock stroke 440 w/edelbrock performers that have been cnc ported, 11.5 forged pistons, .570 Scotty Brown cam, 850 Holley w/proform body, pro-parts headers, team g intake and 93 octane pump gas......all said in the end the engine made about 605 flywheel HP,I took it home and went straight to the street, the car drives soo much better and idles great in heavy traffic and 90 degree heat....Thanks Jake for the great service, I am completely happy and consider that dyno session money well spent and a must for a new engine and its initial tuning....had I continued to run this car like it was set up I would have blown it up for sure. I now have the tune correct and looking forward to Mopars against the world at Ubly dragway August 6th weekend
