The in car tune is going to be different than the engine dyno tune anyway.

Are there any engine analyzer programs for Macs?

I don't know a lot about Macs. But I do know that I have people running my Windows software of a Macs using / through parallels desktop (virtual machine).

In addition to the points Formulajones brings up in post #16 the engine dyno sheet is also helpful with a custom torque converter built for your specific combination. My first was about 25 years ago when I called Marv Ripes at A-1 Automatic Transmissions, he was well known in the industry. As a consultant the first thing he asked was if I had a dyno sheet. I bought two from him. Similar situation with custom units at Hughes Performance, Continental and most recently at UCC.
All found the dyno sheet helpful. .

I'm building a 494 ci that is 4.32" x 4.21" stroke with SD CNC ported Eddy heart shaped chamber that flow 336 cfm, Bullet 235/241 at 0.50" HR cam, 0.632" lift, RPM intake with a 1" spacer and a 850 cfm carb, what do you think it will make?

I would more or less agree with Ken on this with a few little modifications. Yes it is certainly MUCH easier to make MUCH more HP with LESS effort if your willing to change cylinder heads on our old V-8's. The heads were the choke point on most, and Pontiac's were far from the worst. I oversee a wide variety of engine builds in my class every year. My observation, rather than a HP number is HP per inch since many different platforms are used. Making less than 1 HP per cubic inch is a failure IMO, unless using stock un-touched heads and doing a restoration type rebuild. The 1 HP per inch used to be a Detroit goal, and the handful of engines that made or exceeded it were revered as "super engines". 327-375 HP, 454-450 HP 421 SD, 426 Hemi, 350-370 HP are a few examples. Almost any iron head V-8 can get there with mild head work and the right cam and a decent induction system. 1.25 HP per inch is pretty easy with a modern aluminum replacement head and little else.

As a less experienced person, it is nice run your specs by people who know more and can get you into a ballpark of what you're trying to do with your motor and alert you to any big mistakes you might be making. I found that really helpful. I am having my motor dyno'd. Like Formulajones said, I really like the idea of having the guy who built it run it in and make sure there are no obvious initial problems as the main benefit. But, it's also nice to know what your combo made rather than a guess.
I asked my builder what he thinks my motor will make and he won't make a prediction. I understand where he's coming from. If he predicts a certain number and you don't get there then there's disappointment and maybe even blame. The short block is done and it should be on the dyno within the next 2 weeks. Just for fun, before it goes on the dyno, I'm gonna post my final specs and let anyone who wants make an estimate. I'm gonna be there for the final pulls so I should be able to get some video of it too.

I'm always interested in hearing real world results from any pump gas build. Timeslip or dyno with no BS speculation. Gives a great starting point for people shooting for a similar level of power

i can report that my e-head, old faithful, rpm with quick fuel 850 build in 65 gto hardtop with a muncie and 3.55 gears gives me a huge stiffy. will post a thread with plenty of stiffy pics if anyone is interested.

"...any 16 year old kid can walk into Summit with his parents credit card and walk out with a shopping cart of bolts ons that’ll make 500HP"
That brought a smile to my face. Fun story, about 22 years ago I befriended a young kid that was 15 years old working at McDonalds. At 16 he bought his first car, a Firebird and then went to work part time for my engine builder. His first engine was 4.250" stroke, un-ported Edelbrock heads, Crower 236 degree hyd flat tappet cam, Performer RPM intake, 750 vac. sec Holley carb and headers. On the dyno it made 509.2 HP at 5200 rpm. And his mother paid for the dyno session as a HS graduation present. No parents credit card though.... he paid for it working at the engine shop. .

Trust me nobody wants to see that. Congrats on your build, though. Sounds like you accomplished your goal.

People like to make educated guesses. We spend a lot of money on this stuff , so we like to talk about it, big deal.
And not everyone has a "engine builder". Some do it themselves. |

How can I take advise from, (or give respect to) someone who cant use or spell the words "Seams" or "There" (or spell dozens of other simple words) correctly? I once asked about wheel lugs. Steve posted that I was lazy and wasting bandwidth. Is this thread wasting bandwidth? Last edited by F ROCK; 07-23-2022 at 06:11 PM. |
