Bitter sweet night at the drag strip. Big wheelie video. Well my results only confirmed my dyno numbers. My goal was to run 10.1 on the motor with my extra cubes. I put down 443/400 on my stock bottom end but unfortunately I was never able to make a pass because of several reasons, number 1 being a cracked ring land. I suspect I could have run 10.5 or better with that setup. Oh well.
So 37 cubes later I was really hoping to be in the 470/430 range. Unfortunately I only dynoed 445/406 yesterday morning for a gain of 2 rwhp and 6 rwtq. I will have to post my dyno graph in the dyno section to get some opinions. I really think it is probably the cam shaft. Its a custom design for a 346 engine. The curve is really puny and falls off really hard after peaking at 5900. So instead of low 10's I was only expecting a 10.5 at best last night and that is exactly what I ran.
So anyway it was kind of a bitter sweet night because I nearly dragged my rear bumper on my 2nd run. It was awesome!
It also scared the $hit out of me but I guess my ***** are bigger than they appear because I stayed in it and shifted into 2nd at the peak of the wheelie. 
It came down just about as soft as is possible but I was thankful to have the Madman Save Your A$$ Bars.
Here's the vid...
