I guess I don't understand why he's putting in on the engine dyno now seeing how it takes 3 weeks to get the new pulley ?

It's not like you're going to ever run it N/A........

Maybe he just needs to justify taking it off and on a few times so he can tuck it to you a little more

Marc,
I was talking with Bob this morning and he mentioned this guy Brian.He has a pulley that they are going to modify and try while they are waiting for the new one to get here.

I'll double check that info tomm. when I bring up my fuel rails.

Okay here are some preliminary numbers not completely tuned yet but it made 563hp and 513 ft/lbs of torque!!!!!!

I'll post more later.

Oh on John's motor, Brian had a cog setup on his T-trim and Brian isn't going to use the T-Trim anymore, he is going to go with an ATI supercharger, so John's motor will go on the engine dyno tomorrow.

Not bad. thats more than you expected isnt it? Thats about 450 to the wheels with 20% drive train loss. So its probably less drivetrain than that so around 480 would be my guess. So much for 440-430 you were hoping for I bet with more tuning you will end up close to 500rwhp all motor baby!!!!! Way to go. Now we will have to see what mine does. New heads are flowing 305 cfm at 575 lift with stock valves and there not done yet. I dont have a prayer against those numbers though, I will be lucky to get 450 to the wheels. Then again its 346 cu. You guys feel like doing your first 436 stroker

Talking 96Z28SS Engine

Numbers sound pretty good. This must mean that the CAM SYNC was right!!!!! That guy Mike at QUEST RACING is a Genius. I heard that the guy that owns NEDT has 805 hp on 1 stage of juice. I heard that this motor had coil packs to. Was his CAM SYNC right???
