The numbers are great for a n/a motor. However, with a Powerdyne sitting under tha hoodie, obviously there's something not right. If you notice in the dyno graphic, the torque curve begins to drop off before 6K, but the horsepower does not--it's still climbing even at 6K. He has some ideas about what's wrong and he'll be tinkering in no time. He was grateful after it was over because he now had a baseline from which to work. Lots of questions remain though...



 sorry I left at noon and missed that...

Yea I would expect to see another 40-50 hp and ft lb of tq, so its definatly needing some tuning.

FYI.. HP and TQ figures will ALWAYS cross one another at 5250 rpm, with HP continuing to climb and TQ falling. This assumes the engine makes enough power to get to 5250 rpms.

thats why you only have 3 gears now, you get into overdrive, and the paint comes off

Tom, i honestly thought he'd have around 380, ive seen similar combo's go a little less or a little more, so i figured thats where he would be, im wondering if that intake is hurting him, or if its just a poor tune, the a/f plot stayed nice and flat

Ouch, the stock HO is what 250HP, and with all his mods and the powerdyne he only got an extra 63HP. Was the powerdyne belt still hooked up or slipping maybe? I know Ed had a problem with his staying on...

stock HO puts down 225 at the flywheel, ive seen em put anywhere from 170-190 at the wheels

so he at least picked up another 120 or so at the wheels over a stock HO

That reminds me one chapter of a Tv program (overhaulin´) when they build a chevy with the 350 cid. The engine was rebuild and modified. Even they add a vortech supercharger with the carburetor enclosure. I Was expecting numbers around 400 Hp at least, when i heard the engine power was 350 Hp. Yeah, its a very good number for an engine, but maybe was greater the expectation of "big engine, big numbers" the thing that i though about it. And i guess that some of here are experimenting the same. I dont know very much about performance engines, but i know that these are good and respectable numbers....or maybe only is "Desafinado". Just my two cents....

1989 F-200 V8
1996 Explorer V6
2001 F-150

You're supposed to tap the coffee straw on the rim of your coffee mug a couple times before you set it down..  :flip:

Happened to me yesterday. Washed and dried the car, washed the brush out and put the hose down... about 15-20 feet from the car. Well, not only did it land on the handle but also in the direction of the car. On top of that it stayed on until I picked it up... then it was back to dry the car off.
