This guy is local to me and he made a little more HP than me.The shop is also local to me and great people with a Tuska dyno and he does a lot of circle track engines.The engine is now in a 34 Ford for no prep racing.
Can i ask what was that sparking coming from at the rear of the motor at the 10:45,12:45 and 12:47 on to the end from? Just curious as never seen that happen.

Ray Banyas The owner op has not had the adaptor for mopar as he does sb/bb chevy most so this may have been his 1st mopar in 20yrs.He may have even borrowed the adaptor.So to answer you the flywheel may be hitting the scatter shield inside.
What were the best numbers, HP, Torque, boost amount and which RPM for them? I'm in the middle of buying parts for a similar build with a Vortech crank driven centrifugal supercharger using E85 and a Holley EFI system on a 551 C.I.440 type build with B1-MC heads

I remember the days of spinning the water valve on the dyno! Geez, that is some old equipment those guys are working with.
I can still remember seeing you use a similar dyno back when Information comes in many different forms The first engine dyno I saw was exactly like that one, it was at Valley Head Services when Larry Ofria owned and operated it in the mid 1980s.
