Ok time to sign up and guess the horsepower on the dyno

[Dusty]

Damn!!! I printed a couple of your pics for the guys at work and forgot them on the f*(&^ printer
DAMN!!

Look its Pat after the last 70 hours and before he had those 30 minutes at home to take a shower.

[AMX69PHATTY]

so there's about

--> 700 HP and 700 LB/FT right, in that nieghborhood ?

from an AMC V-8 with iron heads, 93 octane, and a blower ?

I don't know man that's kinda weak .............. ( kidding )

[Blown7]

UPDATE....
The engines still on the dyno, chatted with Greg yesterday he's still trying to get some more HP out of it and get it perfectly tuned.
He went to start it yesterday it started easy but the damn Carquest H2O pump was seized up soild.
He's got to change out the water pump now before he can go on.
But the end of this thread and the final numbers are still to be written......
At this point the bill is about 2800 dollars for the dyno.

Damn!!!!
And I thought it was bad when the check-engine light came on in the Hemi and I was quoted, "... it'll be around $1000"

Damn!!! Whered that F@<|>*^% Service adviser go

[fuzz401]

Its 630 AM I'm already at work and on my third cup of coffee and will run down to the ship in a minute to get a donut. Then maybe run a marathon
and be back for the 9 AM meeting and 10 AM phone conference, and in my spare time bake a cake,make some cookies,
and get the contractors back out here to fix some fiber connections

Methinks you better spike your coffee with some of your racing fuel, ha, ha. Merry Christmas Fuzz!

You HAVE to be getting close to having put enough into this 401 to have bought an all aluminum Indy 512 inch, 840HP crate engine ($22k). Any regrets (other than the heads)???

[Blown7]

No, no regrets other than that.

I feel pretty respectable getting close to 700 HP on pump gas, on a 30 yr old engine, I learned alot, ECM is not a mystery anymore. Neither is sourcing internals and figuring what needs to be done to make serious horsepower.
For 3 grand more I can probably get way past the 814HP number if I want to.
The next engine probably will be a Indy engine.

There is nothing that comes close to the sound of a blower engine on boost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grown men weep, women and children are scared.


Just a update.........
The H20 pump didn't seize, The cam bolt walked out and thru the timing cover into the pump impellor. So a little welding to the timing cover is in order as well as getting the coolant moisture out of the engine.
Then back on schedule tuning.

What do you think caused that, and what are your plans to prevent reoccurrance?
