To me, I like to know the (racing background) of the people questioning my dyno numbers. So I think its only fair I state my background. I machine and build and test my own engines, everything is machined in house with the crankshaft as an exception. 1. Two strait hot street championships (550 inch NA 10 inch tire 3350 pounds) both ends of the records, won every race except for 1 over a two season span, as an engine builder. 2. The fastest full weight, small tire, oval port (GM) production blocked chevelles in country come out of my shop. 3. Just for you I have an example of a Vortecpro powered 468 NA camaro, I think you just might be able to identify with. NA 468 9.40 @ 142.40 1.28 60 on the foot brake @ 1670 feet DA @ KCIR. BTW on that dyno you questioned the HP of, it made (the 468) 45 less hp than yours, 795 HP. Happy reading  |
Dont get in your defensive mode..Sounds like you have had some fast cars,you never know when a keyboard racer is just bumping there gums.
I have had friends show me dyno sheets with big numbers and the car wouldnt run anywhere close to the number it should have.
Thanks for the compliment on my old camaro, I had a 582 bbc,13.5-1 comp,cfe 385 bmf heads,single carb, N/A that dyno'd 1133 H.P built for that car and never got to put it in. That would have been fun !! One of these days I am going to build another hot rod and I may look you up for a powerplant. Geary
