Not Ranked
ShelbyTexas - Ken was able to get ahold of me. We just had a nice little talk over lunch.
There is definitly a problem with that motor that nees to be found before he starts making changes. His motor should be making much more power. As a comparison I have run two different motors on the same dyno Ken just ran on. The first was a mostly stock 428 with a hydrolic cam just a little bigger than his and a bad hand porting job on edelbrock heads. that motor made 345hp and 410tq. Kens motor should be able to do a lot better.
The second motor I ran on that dyno is my current Keith Craft 427 and it made 511hp and 504 tq. I would expect Ken's motor to be about in the middle of these two making between 400+ at the rear wheels.
Ken, you may want to consider having Keith go through you motor to find the problem and then go for his stage II porting on the heads and have him match a cam for you. You should have a very sweet motor.
Good luck
John
