Default Dyno run for FE

Below are the dynamometer run figures for a 495 cu. in. engine built on a Shelby 427 aluminum block, headers and pipes in place, by Kinetic Racing Engines in Westland MI for my Kirkham KMP 293.

I’d requested a tractable state of tune for the engine since there is no intent that it would be used as a flat out racer. In keeping with that, Kinetic used hydraulic lifters and an Edelbrock dual plane manifold.

I really don’t have much experience with this type of engine and was wondering if I could get some feedback from other members of this forum as to how this test shapes up against other engines.

RPM lb/ft Hp
3500 605.4 403.4
3750 603.8 431.1
4000 609.3 464.1
4250 610.1 493.7
4500 599.9 514.0
4750 592.3 535.7
5000 581.7 553.8
5250 550.3 550.1
5500 533.2 558.4
5750 483.7 529.6
6000 444.3 507.6
