Well, ran into a little hickup on the dyno and they have to fix their booboo. lol Nothing all that serious, just glad it got caught before it was in the car.

Only got power to 6500 so far. (should peak around 7700-8k) Anyhow, 515hp at 6500 very rich. 451 tq at 5400 I think it was. Not 100% sure on that.

Anyhow, pretty close to what I was guessing and 550-570hp.

Anyhow, new date is now Monday or Tuesday for it to be re dyno'd.

lol, the kind that the valve tapped the piston and bent the valve. Cant see anything on the piston but anyhow. It was a stupid mistake on their part, they didnt size the lifter bores correctly and one lifter stuck and held the valve open a tad.

Anyhow, luckily it just bent the valve with no other issues. (cept they are replacing all the lifters also) Should be all back together on Monday. This is the reason I always dyno stuff prior to taking delivery. Would of been pissed if that happened after getting it all back in.
