| Re: Big-Foot's RCR-40 Build Thread - "SuperCar" Just back from the Engine Dyno (Superflow 902) at R&R Performance.
I can only post quick numbers right now as I am headed right back out the door to go instruct at the Drivers School.. I'll be back online tonight but won't be able to do scans of the dyno sheets or post pictures / video (yes video!) until this weekend..
Engine is a 331 with Dart Pro1-170 Heads, 10:1 compression, Weber 48IDA carbs 37mm chokes, Inglese "Weber grind" Roller cam with 115LC, 222/224 duration @ .050, .571 Intake, .565 Exhaust. Dyno long primary headers.
After a bit of Jet tuning (Thanks Jac-Mac you really helped out a bunch here) we threw down some pretty good numbers although a bit shy of the hoped for 450 HP the Torque was well above expectations.
414 HP / 430 TQ
We need to revisit the valve springs and/or push rods as she had valve float at 5900. The power band started nosing over around 5700 anyway..
Either way - the engine idled very well - not real choppy but enough of a lump to let you know that something stronger than the family station wagon is lurking...
Throttle response was very crisp.
More later! |
