Default Dyno'd my solid roller 418

Well here are my dyno sheets from last weeks pulls of my 418ci with auto trans & ford 9" rear

Converter was unlocked, it wouldnt stay locked on the dyno.

Here is the STD version of what I actually put down that day



Here is the SAE numbers



Finally here is the SAE overlay of many of my pulls during the tuning process.

Can you tell us more about the full combo?
How big is the solid roller?
What intake is on it?
Headers and exhaust?

Thanks in advance.

What muffler on the mufflex catback? If it's the spintech, I bet you'd pick up another 15-20HP with a cutout...great numbers none the less tho!

Yes I had it at the track the day after, only managed to make one run down the track, but I managed a 10.8 @ 124mph. Here is a link to the thread with slip & video

https://ls1tech.com/forums/10-second...eels-good.html

Its a custom ground comp cam, 114 lsa

I actually have a 4" cutout and I didnt gain anything on the dyno, which was a shock to me aswell. I have the Mufflex 98402C-DT with the large spintech crossflow muffler

That sounded sick. What was the full run at the track? '60; 1/8th with MPH? I am thinking there is more in there, unlocked will never blow away the dyno but those are great numbers as is.

Ya, I still have to adjust my shift points for the 28" slicks, plus I am only running a 3.70 gear in my 9" rear.

1.568 60 foot
6.9 8th @ 100mph

I have a link to the slip in post #10

i think running fast manifold there is no need to go solid roller, the manifold simply wont support enough rpm to make the solid roller worth it... if you go to a good single plane or sheetmetal that the solid roller will really shine

Vic Jr would be a good choice.

Vic Jr you need to port.. Out of the box Super Vic with a dominator TB might be nice. Oh wait, probably can't fit that..

We're modding a super victor here we use in house at some point to make it a box ram with dominator top.

For now we just have a super victor with a CNC'd 4 hole conversion spacer for a dominator.

I agree. I think going to one of these intakes would produce excelent gains in the higher RPM range(+7000), but would also need to be complimented with a lot of converter and a lot of gear.

28"ers with a 3.70 gear!? I would think you would do a 4.10+ with that tire and a solid cam. What converter are you running?

I think your car runs awesome for your current setup, btw.
