My 401 has survived the dyno testing and is somewhat happy in its new home...my rusty J10.
Although I was shooting for 500HP I came up short, I know the Hedman(Cheap) headers are killing the exhaust flow and running 2 4bbl is not "ideal" for making killer power...but...
The peak HP was 460 at around 5500RPM the torque wasn't a peak at all...at 1800RPM (the lowest we could load the dyno) was 398ft¬?lbf, it rose to 450ft¬?lbf at 2000RPM and stayed there until 5500RPM. The flatest torque curve I have ever seen.
As soon as I get some time I will scan and post the charts and if I can get it to work, a short video of one of the pulls on the dyno.
It's in the truck now and have to wait until Tuesday for exhaust, then it's off to the land fill to dump a load of garbage and weigh the truck to find out how much weight I need to add for the truck pulls coming up. Of course I have to cruise threw town for any "takers"
Any bets on how long the QT case will last?
Hopefully I can get some brakes back with a vac can...anybody use one before?
