SBE 427 N/A FED Top End (Testing) I will try my hardest to update this as much as I can.
We decided to take our production manager's stock C6Z to use as a test mule. This indeed will be a SBE N/A deal.
Test 1 will be our F710s with a Ported MSD
Test 2 will be our F710s with a FED Low Pro
Test 3 will be our F710s with a FED Freak Show intake.
Edit: This will be done on Pump 93 before jumping into E85 or Race Fuel. Compression is set to 12.5:1

I guess probably need a little more detail on the cam in general sounds pretty big and is it solid or HR. I presume a stick car (I know they all came with a stick). Looks like has your heads on it now and an MSD and a vararam intake, and headers. Should be an interesting test.

I see you fly cut the pistons but I also so you bumped compression up to 12.5 to 1 which means you shaved the head a lot. If you did not shave the head would you have needed to cut the pistons? Or was it also the 2.25 valve was hitting stuff (versus OEM 2.20). The reason I ask this is people who might be interested in product would want to know this. Of course the cam size could be suspect too. For example as long as you don't shave more than .020 out or run a 2.20 valve the OEM pistons are fine. Most aftermarket pistons have bigger valve reliefs I know my Wiesco are like .080 deeper and have a 2.25 valve semi circle in the piston relief.

Very Good numbers - thanks for answering the questions. Good to know the baseline and if you stick with normal CCs and gasket thickness the head bolts on. Post a dyno graph when you get one.
