Hey Everyone,
I have a dyno appointment coming up next week. Is there anything that will take me by surprise? The guy running the dyno just said to not forget gas.
I plan on bringing, fuel, straps, fans, and my weber jet kit.
Can anyone thing of anything else required?
What RPM should I stop at? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) My car has larger valves (48-38), duel valve springs, solid lifters and a 494 webcam.
Heres more info on the car.
2258cc
10.5 to 1 Compression Ratio
40 webers
Tangerine headers
98 octane fuel
What do you think she'll make at the wheels?
Shane

Very nice Shane. You should be proud of that, especially all the work you and Keith put into it.

I agree that the carbs are probably holding you back. What vents do you have in those 40s again? Are they 30mm? Eventually it would probably be prudent to get your hands on a set of 44s... or send your 40s to Racer Chris. He works magic on his that I simply can't do (mostly proprietary info that he developed over years and years of SCCA racing, but my guess is he reworks the vents and the carb throats so that they're at their very optimum.) And since he has a flow bench, he has verified that his 40s flow like 44s! I'd love to learn more about that someday.

The only other thing I would imagine that is holding you back is the heads, but you mentioned that before.

Still, very impressive dude. You should be proud.
