My guess was when you finally said oh **** and pulled your foot out of it.

Potent package there.

You have better "shelves" than I do.

At 1.52 TQ per cid on 11.5:1 compression that package is far from the normal expected range of "off the shelf" components. Although the RPM band on this build is considerably higher, the overall numbers would have been very, very competitive in any of the Engine Masters competitions - and I suspect that none of those would have been considered "off the shelf".

Here another engine Kuntz built recently. This 376 SBF engine was built for a weeks worth of abuse (drag week) Nothing exotic , 11.1 compression, pump gas, Jims 15 degree heads. It will run sealed all week (no vacuum Pump).

Impressive. Both engines have exceptional BSFC figures.

Can I ask what carburettors?
