Dyno predictions game :)

Dyno predictions game (come one come all)

Okay, I think I'm finally going to get my car dyno'd next week, either Tuesday or Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Found a place that supposedly charges $75 for 3 pulls. In the meantime I'll give it a fresh oil change, clean up the air cleaner, etc.

Rules of predictions: Person who posts the farthest off has to buy the guy who is closest a 6-pack and send it to him (should be doable for less than $15, and should make it more fun/interesting). By posting a guess you accept these terms.

Predictions should be off rwhp readings. Rwtq figures will be the tiebreaker. Post to the nearest tenth. Don't bother with flywheel projections.

The dyno is a Dynojet. In general Dynojets read about 10% higher than Mustang Dynos, though it does vary some. Figured some might want to take that into account.

Combo:
351w, .060 over
~9.3:1 compression (it has stock early 70s pistons, but the heads were shaved to 56 cc chambers which helps a little)
Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads
Crane 1.6 roller rockers
Comp XE274H cam (specs readily avaliable online; something like adv 274/280, actual at .050 230/236, lift .519/.523, LSA 110... just off memory)
Holley Street Avenger 670
Weiand Stealth
Heddman swap headers (1 5/8")
2.5" exhaust, flowmasters, h-pipe
MSD, Pertronix, Accel coil, etc etc
K&N

T-5, 9"

Personally hoping for 300 at the wheels...



Predictions list (new predictions must be 2 hp away from any already placed... only other way to do it would be via anonymous pm or something... if we have to start over we can).

334 rwhp/352 rwtq - 68EFIVert
332? rwhp/351.9 rwtq - GNN60GT500

I'll take the first guess. 334 rwhp and 352 rwtq. Good luck and have fun!

Hope you're right... I'm thinking the lack of professional tuning (though maybe they'll help me while I'm there if its slow...) and my compression might hurt me, though I've seen similar builds in magazines make as much as ~440 at the flywheel.

And I figured the thought of beer and horsepower would wake this forum up. Come on folks...

I should have anticipated that putting some beer on the line would make people do this.

I'm going to post people's predictions as they come in. You must separate your horsepower prediction from prior ones by 2 hp. This should allow enough variation to ensure no one gets screwed.

Basically, predict in good faith.

Sorry I forgot to put to the nearest 1/10th. I meant to say 333.8 rwhp and 351.8 rwtq.

I'm trying to address that issue before too many more vote. Your vote was first so it'll stay for now, unless you want to enter a completely different one.

If someone has a recommendation for a better system, let me know.
