Dyno's are fun

well me and some poeple from my car club just dynoed over this last weekend, you will find a few people posting about it on the boards/ fourms here but with me i have a 355, bone stock bottom end, that means stock dished pistons, 5.7 rods, and a stock crank, summit brand cam part number sum-1104, Edelbroch Performer intake, Edelbrock 600cfm carb, and ported stock 1.94 heads. these are my numbers i put down to the wheels.

Top HP=213.10
Top TQ=307.88

im dam happy with those numbers and the small mods i have done.

This is RWHP or FWHP?

I'm going to assume RWHP, and those are some pretty nice numbers

i think those numbers will give you a high 13 low 14 second car. thats still a pretty new engine, i think you will see some good HP gains in the next month as the engine continues to break in.
