Shawn @ VA Speed

we got some good preliminary numbers on the engine dyno-Kevin got to see his baby make the first pull-i'll let him give you the results when he get back home.

Oh BTW thanks for the lunch and the conversation Kevin.

Hey Shawn,

Man you really surprised me when we got there today to find you sitting at the engine dyno controls and my 427 loaded up on the dyno. I didn't expect that.

Anyways, the numbers...These are preliminary numbers. Ed didn't get a chance to finalize the tune and the engine was still running the w40 breakin oil. The motor has been run a total of about 5 minutes so far including the dyno pulls and never run over 6k RPM.

Early results are 605 HP at 5900RPM and 588 T at 4800. I think we're all pretty happy with the early numbers. Shawn said he usually sees 75hp difference between the engine and chassis dyno. Shawn has another cam ...still small by anyone's standards for a 427. Let's see how that works. Shawn also wants to take a run at making power with the FAST 102. He's confident he can make it work. The goal remains the same - good power but not at the expense of drivability. That's the challenge.


The engine is very quiet mechanically. Much quieter than before.

Here are a few pics.

Shawn and Ed at work.






The BEAST!




Tough to get pics of the gauges when max'd. Note the RPM.

I know you wanted a full frontal shot but we'll save that for the final numbers.

THAT was your good side?
I was impressed to no end. Those kind of prelim. numbers, on an NA motor that is that quiet and docile at idle. Wow!
You guys have a super set-up down there. It's like Romper Room for big boys.
Great, great work!

Great Prelim numbers guys.

Is that showing vacuum at WOT? that intake must be pretty restrictive

WKMCD

iTrader: (2)

I'm sure the manifold is a restriction but that pic may have been taken on the way down. These were pretty quick pulls and I had trouble snapping a pic showing anything.

Ain't mine......just sayin........

Shawn @ VA Speed

iTrader: (3)

Yeah,that's my gay water.I guess i could have been a man kept on drinking soda and be on kidney dialysis.That stuff will catch up to you sooner or later as well

Shawn @ VA Speed

iTrader: (3)

it actually got up to .7 in vacuum.That good for about 2% hp which is about 12 hp or so.And that is just tb and plenum restriction,does not include the restriction in the runners

Seems like it's only going to get worse as the RPM goes up over the 6k you had it Saturday.

What's the fix???

sneaks

FAST.......just sayin.
