Just going back through the build, you were looking for "north of 450".

487? 

I say "Bullseye".

Well done, guys.  :cheers:

Looking forward to additional reports.

The beast lives! :cheers:

We fired the engine, and she sounds like a SNOTTY BITCH- I expect bid numbers, flathead wise!! We have a mechanical water pump issue, and will substitute an electrical water pump in the morning.

Serious dyno work will commence tomorrow, once Don, Carl, and Jim join us!


G'night!
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

Buddy, you saying FlatCaddy has a new name - or just powered by the SNOTTY BITCH?  :cheers:

I'm thinking that Reply 1049 of 487 HP was someone's guess in the pool rather than a pull (?).

Sparky, unless you've been snacking on sardines or other minnows -- I think you meant to say "bated" breath.  Just sayin', you know. . . :evil: :evil:

Still taking it easy-second run with 7lbs boost was 351 hp and 434 torque!

We are a LONG ways from the engines potetial!

  Lookin good, are you logging boost temp before and after intercooler?

  Got lots of ice for intercooler water? We were always running to get some.

  Dang got to leave for awhile, good luck :cheers:

Guys, we just saw 496 hp @5000 rpm, with a LOT of hp still available!

You can only imagine what Dale and I are feeling at the moment!
