Tell me who builds a combo that makes more than 500 FWHP and don't know what cam is in it. I say that because he's making 420 to the rear wheels so he has to be making at least that at the crank. On a similar note Hot Rod just built a 331 that made 535 hp that was 13.1 compression at 7200 RPM. With some of the best hardware available. This guys just throws a comb together and WOW 500 plus!! Yeah right.

Oh!! One other note, ported performer heads won't and can't support that type of flow CFM's naturally aspirated to support those numbers. The heads on that set-up would have to flow in the 290/ 300 cfm intake 200/210 exhaust range to support the HP he's making. Performers WILL NOT FLOW THAT!!!

are yall calling me a liar or the dyno? if you'll read the first post with common sense you'll read where I said what my car made do yall think the dyno read wrong is all I asked.. Thats for you smart people who are wondering if im "pulling your chain"

And I dunno about me just throwing some parts together and making high horsepower either the guy who had the car before me likes to only buy the best parts he is the guy who funded the build.

My whole purpose was to get your opinion on whether you thought my car was making this kinda horsepower or was the dyno messing up.. well all I got most was a buch of people calling me a liar..

There's always these people that post the unbelievable combo's that always have something that don't add up. Oh! I brought the car like that I didn't ask any question on the build. Yeah! it has ported heads and I threw a cam in I had laying around i don't know what type it is the lodes are worn.(LOL) And what do you have is a Freak 420 plus RWHP at 5700 rpm's. For all who said they seen this done in a 331 is A LAIR. Oh yeah!! Street Beast please tell me where you seen this done and when did you do it?:Zip2:

1. DON"T know what type of cam he has? Could be the custom grind with the Super Ultra Core. Origin unknown type unknown?
2. Didn’t know if the car was dyno in 3 or 4 gear (oh yeah I remember now it was 4th (LOL)
3. RWHP 420 at 5700 RPM
4. Ported performer heads (won't flow those #)
5. 520 flywheel hp with only 10% drive train lose
6. Oh I don't know should it be this high. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
7. GO back and slap the DNYO operator.

As I posted earlier, if you would accomodate yourself and I... run it down the 1320' and email me a scan of your time slip. I will have a very good estimate of what you have under the hood. All I ask is you NOT spin the tires, and shift where you deam will keep you in the powerband in the next gear.

Your dyno sheet is similar to a large cube, 50 shot engine or;
small cube, turbo and 150 shot engine.
As you can determine... that squiggly crap is your tires breaking loose and your torque curve started high down low in the rpm and never fell off till it crosses. That is the giveaway something is not straight in the story.
You have a 3.250" stroke engine... just how much torque do you think a 331ci will put out before you start to disbelieve the data? As Jazz stated or implies... you should be spinning around 7500+ to make those numbers.

Well said... although rough around the edges, I agree, I agree, I agree.
