Numbers were 519.4 HP @ 5,200 and 578 TQ @ 4,200. My engine was on a known stingy dyno. The 499 CID engine should of blown the doors off my 496. Definitely something wrong with this dyno. The engine jhein had built should be showing better numbers. I agree with scott70.
Well, I guess I was lucky that he had just done that motor and that I got a picture of the graph. At least it suggests the problem is the dyno, not the motor.
