Can some one run a DD for me? (I think I may buy the program soon, so I can stop bothering people here) Only if you are not busy, because I am still only in the preliminary gathering info on this motor. Ok, heres what I have:

557 cid BBC---9.6:1 CR
Dart Block -- 4.500" Bore
4.357" stroke
I-Beam Rods- 6.385"
JE Flat Top Pistons
Dart Alum Heads---310cc Intake Runners, 119cc chambers, 2.25/1.88 valves
Comp Cam Magnum 305H
Weiand X-CELerator Intake
Holley 4500HP Dominator--1050cfm

I am not very good at putting performance engines together, so any help/ suggestions you could give me I would greatley appreciate. Thanks for taking the time out to do this for me,
Chris

EDIT: Are the aftermarket blocks larger than the stock GM blocks? I mean, will the two blocks both painted the same and with all the same components look the same (i.e. one not larger than the other) Thanks

From Engine Analyzer v3.0

HP: 668@5700
TQ: 680@4700

Using flow numbers from Darts website (could be a little lower in real life). Electric water pump and electric fan. 2 1/8 headers with open exhaust. SAE Conditions. I'm not sure you need a dominator for that engine. You might want to consider a Holley 1000 HP and have a little better throttle response when driving around town.

With Desktop Dyno 2000

HP: 570@6000
TQ: 565@4500

Once again using Dart advertised flow numbers. Large tube headers and open exhaust. I have no idea why there is such a big difference between EA and DD2k, and why there is a considerable diff between the results i got and what DEEBOO got. I have "built" engines on these simulators and EA and DD2k have came within 5-6 hp and tq of eachother.
