Scott

 

Try some of those pills you see on TV

 

Check my shit out
Just slumin

 

Man I love that car!!!!

 

Just about as ghetto as is gets.
Ol Jacksons going to have to step down to my level.

 

I dunno what you're complaining about man,I would just about throw hot bacon grease in an orphan's sad little eyes for the keys to a 409 car!lol!

Scott

 

Shit james I am well below your level you at least have a canopy I've been welding in the driveway on the digger chassis if it would quit raining for more than five damn minutes I would be done already lmao

 

Ps: It's 7 hrs til Dyno Day.

 

5 hrs.....

 

4....

 

2 hrs...

 

Scott, hope that 289 does you proud...! Is that possible to crank out 400hp W/289? Shelby got 306, I know technology has come a long way... .
How much HP it going to take to beat these guys you have lined up to run you? You may want to be like Jeff & be practicing your reaction times for that HOLE-SHOT to beat some of these guys with faster cars... .

 

Just going for breakfast,then it's Dyno Day!

Jim:
I'm pretty optimistic that we can reach our 400hp goal with this little guy.
I will keep y'all posted with some videos as we go.

Scott

 

A few finishing touches,then it's go time.

 

I'm thinking the Nay-Sayers weren't expecting the tunnel ram / twin carb set up..
Have at-er buddy... let'r eat !!

 

Feck.I can't get the video to post!!!

 

...and the "u" on your keyboard must be stuck as well!
So what did she pull?

 

So do you share the "true"results or do you pad the numbers to give you an Ace in the hole?

 

A little disappointed that my carb "expert" turned out not to be.
1st pull:377hp@ 6800rpm

 

377 not bad
whats up with the carbs

 

That is still a lot of ponies! 71 more than Shelby found.

 

They were super rich,power valves in them,bleeds way too small....Ugh.

 

Dyno sessions are usually a humbling experience.....keep tuning and keep pulling...it will get better.

 

That's what a dyno does man it gives you a true sense of what you have and it will definitely save you lots of headaches when you make the first pass that's a good beginning number especially with it fat it's easier to lean out a little at a time than to replace Pistons

 

Out of a 289!!!! That's pretty shittn good!

 

Not to worry

Fred will get you to a 12.5 ratio in short time.

 

Scott is counting the cubes in Canadian cubic inches... You need to use and exchange rate of 1.25 to get to the real cubes...

It is an old Canadian trick that Scott learned from Rob Ford and Justin Bieber
