    Got my engine dyno'd an tuned this week. :dancing:

    414w 13-1 compression, Brodix heads, Prosystem 950 carb

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZpA3hltIqA This pull was only to 6400rpm. About all I could take standing in dyno room!

    577 horse 514 torque. All went well, gritted teeth couple times with the 10 second max torque run. Engine ran steady.

    My buddy Tom (Thank You) built headers that got me couple extra hp over the dyno headers!


    PS tinging noise at end is the dyno drive line.

    What do you think of those Brodix heads? Are they worth the extra change? :2cents:

    Well done Dave...looks like shift points will be 7000....Brodix track 1 heads?...with those numbers I'd guess the STD 214?

    No,,,225. I'm looking into future. I think I'm still safe with factory 2 bolt, Net winter hope to upgrade to better block. Not sure on headers,,1 3/4 step to 1 7/8.

    I like the heads so far,,wont know how they compare to old windsor seniors till I weigh an run 1/4. When I went with heads, I didn't up compression or cam. Keith Craft cnc the heads an that was all.

    Thanks for all the ups!
