Well, if he wants a 700 hp dyno sheet, he can hop to another dyno and give her a pull. We seem to be about 5% low compared to the local superflow and dts dynos. We also don't have a good way of feeding both carbs with supplied air. On a single carb engine we can pull the hood directly down and fasten it so the carb gets all it wants. On a dual carb situation, we have to just lay the hood down in front...not as effective in my mind.

As far as oil pressure, 75-80 is usually what I see with the blueprinted hv pumps.

After this many pulls, the engine should be sealed up. It was very repeatable down to 1-2 hp at the end. With modern rings and honing techniques they shouldn't require 500 miles of driving to seal.

Thanks for the kind words...
