Guest Sidewinder Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 You forgot the harness was wired backwards from the manufacturer so we had to switch the power and ground around. It leaked about 8 drops of fuel overnight, unfortunately, one is too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadC Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 UPDATE June 23 2009 (day 348)the Nic bat signal went up and he responded. Nick finished the street driving stuff and went to the Dyno location. Mark overlooking the hookup. Nick in the car doing his magic.When all said and done the car only made about 60% of the HP it should. After some discussion the verdict was that the push rods were too short. There fore the valvs were not opening up all the way and not enough air was making it into the cylinders. With the Trick flow heads, and a comp cam standard push rods are too short. we measured and the pushrods and they need to be 0.100 longer from stock. I have ordered them and with luck they will be installed soon. Then we can go back to the dyno. ..yeaI hope to make it by the Laughland run this year.

Ted Y Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 So what did it dyno?it was so low id rather not say. dont want to jinx it.OK then, what were you expecting it to dyno?I personally would expect it to be in the 550 to 600 rwhp ballpark. That's after the full break in and fine tuning. Probably 475-500 for first run if all were running correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
