You never will so I'll tell you. :smile5:
Although my project is in a stall certain items are or have been in play that cannot be stopped. That being my motor build
With money invested and speed shop time and parts involved I knew it was gonna come at a difficult time but freak it,it's done.
I received the call that my motor was up on the engine dyno and to come hear it run! So off I went
This is my FIRST experience with a engine dyno and nothing gets you pumped up and your blood flowing to hear your motor fire and see your plans come together. All I can say it's WOW in the 10th degree!
Little did I know this was their second dyno attempt. The first trip yielded problems with a lifter. Under inspection what they discovered was actually a cam lobe issue. That caught it in time and Comp Cams sent them a new Nitrated cam shaft. Of course this will cost me more but according to Comp they're Nitrating all cams.

I watched them run a few sweeps today and although they were chasing yesterdays numbers of 500 HP and 500 feet pounds of torque do to atmospheric changes today on 93 octane fuel the final numbers are out of the box 498.4 Torque @ 4800 rpms and 497.4 HP @ 5600 RPM. Rev limiter is set at 6300 RPM.
Close enough to my goal of a 500 HP street car! :thumbsup:
500 feet pound of torque out of a 340 small block is big block numbers! This is ONE STOUT small block and in estimation should be a 10 second car!
WOW I wish the car was ready. :sad:
When I pick it up I'll post some pictures.
