    I got my engine today and they ran it on the dyno for me. It made 315 hp and 415 ftlb. They told me that the have been told that there machine was very stengy. So they said it is more like 350Hp and 450 ftlb plus there headers are all bent up. It held between 286 to 315 hp from 3200 to 6200rpms. What is your guys input and do you think it will be good for the mav?

    sounds very strong!
    is this going in a drag car or a cruiser?
    Either way you should be very happy.

    A lot of difference between 315 and 340 figures. Wonder why they claim their dyno isnt accurate? Hope you didnt pay for that.

    The Engine is going in a weekend driver. The dyno thjat they used was is pritty old. And the headers that they had was all bent up, pluse they didn't wan to push the moter to much thats why he said i would have a little more o each by the time i put my headers on


    The engine is a 302 stroked to a 347, aluminum heads, i 10.5:1 compreshoin ratio, an agressive cam, 850 cfm carb, a good intake, and a 5000v distributer.
