Hopefully 250-255ish hp at the wheels and 300-310 ftlbs

 
You should be able to reach that mark. Lol, iirc you made 240 and that was with the motor having the lifter issues. Mine blew head gaskets and you've given me motivation to get back to work on it. What mods have you made since the last pull?

You remember correctly; the last pull was done with wiped main bearings and a walking cam.  Since then, we've done the electric fan and underdrive pulleys.  The engine also has some nicer internals like a new cast steel Eagle crank, new lifters, and new pushrods.

And a properly balanced rotating assembly

Because I use these now :D



Stock gauges are way too unreliable for my liking.  We do have the stock temp gauge hooked up in the thermostat now, just gotta find a T-piece for the oil pressure gauge.  But that's just for the sake of having them functional, I never look at them.

Hmm something looks familiar;)



Congrats on getting it running again. Have you thought about a MAF swap and 24lb injectors? Your engine would probably like a bit more fuel.

Last time she saw a dyno, the A/F ratio was perfect.  No plans to change anything on that front.  :)

I'm very interested in seeing dyno results. I'm hoping to have the Sport done soon as well. I know what I would LIKE to see from the Sport,but there's only one way to know for sure....

Hmm. I generally like that blue but I'm not feeling it at all on that intake.

I may have some blue on my GT40 intake....or not. We'll see.I'm still working on ideas.

I like the blue on Thunderjet's engine,I think it's tastefully done.One thing bothers me about it....that mold line on the front. Those kill me. LOL.
