Subject: Re: Engine Dyno Predictions: by wesmigletz on 2008/12/23 19:48:53 jsup, The engine was first tested with the solid flat tappet regrind cam. Then it was tested with the HR cam. Then the Dart heads, with CNC Chambers, were swapped on. Then the AFR street heads, not the fully CNC heads, were swapped. The power effects of the HR cam had nothing to do with the difference in power the heads produced. All three heads were tested with the same HR cam, and FWIW, I ran a smaller cam than some of those involved thought I should have ran. There were parts used from AFR, Dart, Morel, Competition Cams, Camonics, Johnson lifters, and Weiand.I suppose that I should disclose that I am friends with a Holley engineer. Does that make my Weiand intakes suspect as well? I do not have a personal relationship with anyone else involved with the test. The dyno guy, the magazine guy, my son, and I were the only ones to touch the engine. All parts used were off the shelf, beyond the gasket matched intake, something I wanted, and the ported camel humps. There were no ringers. EDIT: I will concede, however, I wore a certain car-related website's t-shirt to the test. I did not pay for the shirt. Well, it wasn't exactly free... it was kinda like at Sturgis, where the guys give chics the shirts if they try them on in front of them... When I went to get the shirt, I was like,"So, what do I owe you for the shirt?", the guru was like, "You can have it if you try it on here." So, aside from a little dignity, it didn't cost me nothing... |
