My motor is off the dyno, and it made some pretty good numbers. From what the video replays show - it made 705lb/ft torque and 805hp at 6,000rpm, and a peak of 859hp at 6,400rpm with a very conservative tune.
Some of you may have seen on the main Forum about my dramas with spark plugs melting due to the design of my custom pipes. This was on top of the work required to fix some bugs that were present in the new version of Motec's new M800 ECU.
All in all, a huge amount of stuffing around was required by Craig from Cragar Performance over and above his quoted dyno charge. In fact, through no fault of his, my engine sat on his dyno for nearly three weeks.
I just want everyone to know that through all this, Craig remained patient and sympathetic to my periferal problems. He helped me with some wiring aspects, made new ignition leads to replace my brand new locally made junk and talked me through the whole dyno process. He made me feel as though he had a genuine interest in my project, and not just from a business point of view.
And I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonable his rates ended up. I can't tell you what a relief that was.....
I could not recommend any other dyno shop than Cragar Performance at Browns Plains. Ph 3800 1958. Tell him Craig Marsh sent you, and he might even find a few extra horsepower for you
