The cam is big, but thats not what matters. It has a TON of overlap, which bleeds off cylinder pressure & compression. I tried something like this and it hurt my #'s over a smaller split cam..

So for better #'s you would recommend something like a 233/233 duration cam vs. a 232/240?

I think the numbers are very nice. There is more to be desired with the compression ratio however.

For those that don't understand why this is so, Colder air is more dense, i.e. there's more Oxygen (what you need to burn with fuel in the CC) per volume than hotter air at the same volume. Thus, the more oxygen you can stuff in the CC with a compensatory increase in fuel, the more power you'll make.

I thought SAE correction corrected this? Or is that only for humidity? I'm confused now.

Like I said here on the 4th page, when you have colder air, it is less dense so more air per cubic foot can get into the motor. Picture a box, this will be your cubic foot. When it is hot and humid, you may be able to fit 25 cubic/ft of air in there. When it is cold, the air is more compact, thus allowing more air into a given space, giving you maybe 35 cubic ft in the same box. So you r motor would make more power with more air in one cubic ft. The software in the computer can only accomidate for so many things. It can't add diffrent cubic/ft's worth the air into the equation. It can help adjust for temperature change, but it would be like dynoing your car in the cold with a hose feeding your motor hot, humid air. So, the bottom line is cold air makes more power, no matter what kinda conversion the dynojet has.

Well, I had the fuel and nitrous solenoids rebuilt today, and low and behold both were shot.

The fuel solenoid was leaking fuel even when the n2o wasn't on. Wonderful!

Looks like I had some unexpected added fuel being dumped in N/A, and my n2o noid wasn't letting more than the equivalent of a 75-100 shot through

New #'s soon....

What brand of solenoid are you running? Glad to hear you got everything taken care of.

Verbs, congrats man!! Glad to see you got it together. The internet speculation is ******* hilarious!!!!



Damian, His #s wouldnt be that far off from yours if he had removed HIS belt and picked up another 16rwhp/10rwtq...........

I made 460/414 with the belts jerky. So yea, if he removed his belt, it'd be about par with my full-belt numbers....Not at all apples/apples, but it was a nice attempt at a cheap shot...

Colder air in comparison to warm air of the same volume is more dense, not less dense.

Yea, that's why I always put a "I think that's right" at the end of my sentences.
