Got my dyno sheets today--the first number is a 6...

608 hp at 6000 rpms
534 ft lbs at................................................ ....3000 rpms!!!Dyno wouldn't hold it any lower.
586 torque at 4800

Fuel injected
Shelby aluminum block
4.3 stroke crank

I have a special stainless car that NEEDS this motor.

Lew,

Wow, it's been worth the wait!

Cool, David!

John A. Simpson 08-13-2003 10:12 PM

Good Job, David
 
But when did you start building small block Chevys?:LOL:

TomH 08-13-2003 11:43 PM

David,

Interesting advertising strategy. "How inadequate are you?"

Between the numbers, the aluminum and the stainless, you've pushed me from aspiration to envy. :CRY:

Awesome dude! :3DSMILE:

Jamo 08-14-2003 02:00 AM

I knew it was going to be good...but now you're just being a pig about it.:3DSMILE:

Neat thing is, I know you're going to use every bit of it.;)

Guinness 08-14-2003 03:50 AM

Awesome numbers David! What fuel injection system are you using?

Congrats David...

Very Impressive...
Enjoy!:D

PatBuckley 08-14-2003 08:39 AM

Wow!

That is almost as good as my dyno sheet!

Pat:)

David Kirkham 08-14-2003 09:11 AM

Pat,

At least when I see you with all of that horsepower and start crying my frame won't rust...hee, hee, hee...

Of course, I'll have to make up my "lack" of horsepower with other assorted light weight parts...

David:D :D :D

Tom,

Envy is good. "Inadequate" Hey, I am here to help all of us with special "problems!" Psssst, we can help with your "problem" and we won't tell a soul.

David:D :D :D

ToyCollector 08-14-2003 09:16 AM

Kirkham's raise the bar again :D

Reading between the lines, engine dyno numbers I assume? Congrats.

Lew Ledyard 08-14-2003 10:24 AM

Very cool. Makes my carbie motor sound old fashioned. I now know what I want from Santa.

Lew Ledyard 08-14-2003 02:15 PM

David:

I forgot to ask, what kind of fuel injection are you running?

Doug Axelrod 08-14-2003 02:25 PM

Wowee!
 
Well, tell us EVERYTHING!
Inquiring cobroid minds want to know!

David Kirkham 08-14-2003 04:03 PM

I don't know what kind of fuel injection is on the engine. I should get it next week. I left everything up to the engine builder on this one. I really don't know anything about the engine except the dyno numbers. :D :D :D

Will let you all know as soon as I find out. I am hoping to have it at the Mini-Nats...we'll see. That is a tall order to finish it that quick.

David:) :) :)

GASKETBOY 08-14-2003 06:16 PM

David,

Please let the guy in this video borrow that engine for his next racing adventure. The Buick fan in the office took way too much delight in this video.

Hope the link works

David Kirkham 08-14-2003 06:32 PM

Some engine specs.

FAS computer
Weber manifold with TWM throttle bodies
Dyno numbers are WITH THE EXHAUST SYSTEM THAT WILL BE ON THE CAR, IE, THROUGH THE MUFFLERS!!!
Thomas just told me; he knows way more about this than I do.

Pat,

Was your engine dyno'd with the MUFFLERS on?

David :eek: :eek: :eek:

Lew Ledyard 08-18-2003 09:41 AM

David:

Will you be running the TWM airbox too or running the throttle bodies open? TWM has a nice airbox, but it seems a shames to cover up that induction.

Lew

I'm not sure what the reason was. Whatever did it had the Buick guy here grinning.

I like #6 though.
