Default Engine Horsepower

Great result, looks like some honest numbers between engine dyno and chassis dyno. I have seen lots of huge engine numbers that produce lower chassis numbers than yours. Then we hear how the losses are 25% between engine and chassis dyno's when just maybe the engine didn't make the claimed power in the first place. Your car will fly!

First pull 559, second 561 and third 559. Not bad for a small block on Pump Gas that Idles at 950 and will run all day long on in fifth gear at 2100rpm. Oh by the way this was with the small carburetor (QF 850) the 1050 made 12 more HP and more TQ throughout the entire RPM range on the engine dynoed! I am very happy with the results.
