They were a 2" primary with varying lengths (from 30-37") but they have proven themselves to make good power on many other engines. They were built to fit a "B" body so, they had some packaging compromises. I suggested he put even LESS CR in it. (11.5) It would have made 800 HP even then. I was nicely impressed, the engine made a little more power than I expected. And there was I'd guess 20HP more to be had on dyno with some PCV and playing with oil system. But the key is it is sorted out now and ready for his car. But the car may not be ready for the new engine.

Like Sean mentioned, the car is not quite ready for the new power. Hopefully we can upgrade to a cage (from 8 point bar) and put some wheelie bars on it until I learn to drive, lol! Randy

Wish I could have been there for the dyno session...instead of partying out on my friend's dock,down in Sebring! Thanks for the invite,Randy!....you KNOW I would have enjoyed being there with you guys! 830hp..and 775tq is VERY IMPRESSIVE...for a "little ole" 540! I would think once the combo's all sorted out,and the suspension is dialed in...low 9's would be attainable! These results put a BIG smile on my face! Not only for your success...but,knowing Shawn is doing the the machine work on my 440! I can rest assured that I'm in GOOD hands!
