Wow my old dyno program shows it would have 6 lb more cranking with this solid over the 509 hydraulic but wow???







Your "program" shows the Lunati to have MORE pressure? I wish I knew this. The guy that told me of the specs for the '509 said that THIS Lunati has an intake closing 11 degrees later. The ENTIRE goal here was to reduce cranking compression. I am pissed that I spent close to $1800 on parts over the last 2 months only to step backwards.

After pulling all of the plugs for the test, I looked closely at them. They all looked about the same, though the plug gaps varied between .035 and .039. I regapped them and will go back out for another test. I want to run down the tank a bit then pour in the 110 leaded I just bought.
