As far as the Dyno I was a little dissappointed but the numbers are what they are. Average HP was just under 500 and the torque was an impressive 520 from about 3800.

I built a solid engine with hyd roller cam and lifters with the Scorpion 1.7 roller rockers. Eagle rotating assembly with H beam rods and forged pistons all zero balanced. I think if I had gone with the ARP or Edelbrock Heads instead of the Pro Comp I could have seen an additional 70 hp (according to my machinist Stanley Morton). The Pro Comp heads just don't breath as well as the ARP or Edelbrock and if I had gone with a solid cam that would have helped too. The fact is that I dyno'd my engine with the alternator and water pump which pulls the hp down between 20 and 40 hp. But with all that said I think I can do what needs to be done one the track if the driver can grow some bigger stones going into some of those corners at over 100 mph!
