New Dyno Numbers on my NA 347

[94Cobra]

I didn't like the way the 1st one turned out so I had the engine professionally reringed and rehoned last winter. I finally had time to put it on the dyno today at Big Shot - 366rwhp, 378rwtq. The 1st run we noticed it was too rich. We lowered the fuel pressure with my adjustable regulator and picked up 12 ponies. The car runs fantastic IMO and the sound is awesome with the Hooker long tubes and H pipe. Overall, I am real happy with the car and driveability.

Impressive.:thumbsup:

nice, whats next??

[John4cam]

Those are impressive engines. HP and torque curve is so flat, Nice numbers.

[94Cobra]

Whats next is to simply drive and enjoy it. I don't want to open the hood again for 6 months, other than to look at it. I'm ready for a break from working on it. I still have the oil drawn through the pcv issue, but that is the only remaining bug that I am aware of.


nice, whats next??

I'm planning on the Zelie flashlight drags in September. I don't have drag radials yet so I won't get much traction. Does anyone know of a track rental day either at Quaker City or PRP?

Quaker City is about 1 hour 20 minutes from Carnegie, maybe 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Hmmm, let me thik about this. Sit in traffic for two hours or drive an hour and a half. Thats a no brainer. when you heading down again?

[Jivepepper]

Nice numbers. Keiths a nice guy.

[94Cobra]

If you guys go to Quaker City on a Friday let me know. I work in Robinson Twp and would head out straight after work.

I really like Keith and his dad. I think that is his dad, anyway. Keith pulled up in a black, lowered 2007 GT500 that sounded like it was on steroids. :pinkthumb:

QCR is a straight shot right off of the highway too. No traffic, construction, or any of the b.s. Not sure when i'm heading down again, next time the weather is a little cool on a Friday.




Nice numbers. Keiths a nice guy.


They are pretty cool guys out at Big Shot. Thats where I had my tune done.
Don Lasota of Lasota did the tuning on their dyno.

That would be cool.:pinkthumb:

Who did the engine work? Big Shot's? I'm in the market for a good machine shop to do some work on my 408. Anybody got any opinions on Motorworks in Greensburg?

[mlowry1260]

That's a nice broad torque curve. Should make for a great street motor. Get some miles on it & have fun!

[94Cobra]

Thanks. It is a blast to drive on the street with all that torque available even down low. I had a machine shop in Erie rehone and rering the engine. 955 Automotive - the builder's name is Jason Ore. He used to assemble engines for the Miller Lite team in the Busch Series. Extremely reasonably priced and worth the drive IMO.

[Killercanary]

Nice numbers! That thing is pretty strong down low!

[94Cobra]

Killercanary - Are you running a pcv setup on your stroker motor or just breathers? I think I'm going to try running 3 breathers.

[Killercanary]

I'm running the PCV and a breather which everyone will say is wrong, but I've done it for years and never noticed any adverse effects from it. My PCV is plumbed into the pipe in front of the TB. It doesn't get vacuum here at idle, but when cruising it does. i also pounded the baffle plate under the lower intake down to make close up the huge gaps that existed between it and the lower intake itself to help cut down on the amount of oil makings its way into the intake. Holley's are notorious for this, but they are one of if not the best long runner intakes available for our cars.

Congrats on those #'s Bob - can't wait to go for a ride!! :pepper:

Hello Killercanary. Would you mind posting a few photos of the pcv plumbing and breather setup? I want to finalize my pcv setup and then get a tune in the Spring.
