Oil temp was around 170 and doing a very slow increase a degree at a time and the older guy that runs dyno had done a lot of the Busch versions of my motor and he looked over at me (knew I was worried like an expectant father and said "its doing what it was made to do" and smiled. He was referring to holding at the 7800 RPM. He also told me that if it had the Titanium valves that we took out they'd have brought it up to 8600 sustained. Glad we went to the Stainless

One other thing is they think my oil temp is way too low. It runs around 165 degrees and Gary told me to try and get it up to 210 or so. He said it would "make more power" that way. Cool water hot oil...

Did you dyno your SBC? If so how did they do it?

Regards,
