New engine for CSX3170

[Cobra #3170]

The new engine is finally done we had some water leak issues during dyno runs the last two weeks but made final power runs today. I am very happy with the results we went from 498 cid to 440 cid and lost 150 lb/ft at 4000 rpm and 84 lb/ft in peak torque. I was trying to reduce low speed torque as many of you who followed this saga know. The new set up makes 431 lb/ft at 3250 and 266 hp this is about 21 mph in first gear which should be perfect. The new engine is down about 10 horse power vs the 498 but makes it at higher rpm. Peak corrected power is 850 at 8000 and is still over 800 at 8750. It noses over at 9000 to the high 600's and drops to about 650 at 9100. It should run reliably to 9300 but we will not need much over 9000 for GoodGuys. Some interesting things, the tuner suggested we buy new Bosch 65# injectors with their superior spray pattern. This is the first time we made more power with the injection than the dyno Dominator they use for break in. This engine likes more advance than the stroker engine did. I hope it works as well in the car as it does on the dyno!
