Good morning!

Did the beast come alive?? Wishing all the best

« **Reply #87 on:** June 03, 2024, 09:41:22 AM »

Yes we tested and dyno this weekend. Had some more things to do so pick it up Wednesday. It?s a beast alright 680 ft pounds of torque at 4000 and right at 617 at 5300 but keeps spinning. We shut it down at 5700 rpm. There is a little bit more power we can get out of it this week.

Was the fuel pressure running out up top? Is that why you said you thought you could get a little more out of it this week? Did you get a chance to get more tuning done?

Makes me want to yank the 455 out of my 69 olds 442 and add another 100 hp to it hahaha

« **Reply #98 on:** June 07, 2024, 09:06:48 PM »

Well I have a dual plane intake even though it has been ported and machine by Wilson manifolds it just runs out at 620hp and it?s happy there.
