So close I can taste it!

 

Better but still a tad high

 

T'was the sound of angels Bill....



driving muscle cars!



Now the bad news.


Video has no sound. Think I'm gonna cry.

 

High

Peak power came in in the lower 6's

Torque was STAGGERING from 3000-5600.

And the idle sounded just like the drum lead-in to "Hot for Teacher"

Were we high, low, what?

I'm thinking low. New guess: 768/720.

Back from dyno day. Now that was fun!

BUT...

You were ALL wrong on the numbers.

So I challenge you all to get out your slide rules, Ouija boards, and other guessing devices to begin again.

I also challenge you all to make a donation of at least $1 to St. Judes with your guess.

No posts or video's of results until we are within the original guidelines.


Thank You All for the Guesses! :thumbsup:

 

Dyno Day set for end of next week.

Barring any "extraordinary" issues Thursday April 23.

Still need more Dyno guesses and St. Jude donations, mostly donations.

 

4/11 Update

Had been awaiting for the the tri-power manifold to return from the resto shop. Last I knew, he had an immediate Family member struck by a severe and sudden illness. I learned on Fri that his Mom (84) who had succumb to the illness, has passed on April 3. He is reopening the business on Monday, but there may be a wait before we are ready to dyno.

As the number of guesses has risen and the with the small differences in total in the guesses (and because Bill egged me on), I decided to go forward with the $300 donation in advance of the test.

But to be sure that SOMEONE nails it, please keep adding your guesses AND donations.

Great idea Fred:thumbsup:

725hp/665tq

I hope you shatter these numbers!:thumbsup:


PS: Fred,
$50 just went to St. Jude's because of your post and to show support for your efforts.
A small part of every paycheck goes toward our local Childrens Hospitalhttp://seattlechildrens.org/home/about_childrens/?src=gg_sch_ch_101008_40007
Both of my boys have had short visits there a few years back and I've got several friends whose children have had much longer stays for more serious problems. The care that my boys recieved, and the staff that I had the pleasure of interacting with were top notch.

Alright, enough of that... who's going to guess correctly and cost Fred a lot of money???

Yea, who's gonna cost me a lot of money to help save kids?

Here's a good reason to guess

OK I'll wing it. I did guess closest on the Howitzer engine Johnny from PHR built..... I was off by 2.8hp and 9 lbs-ft.

736/685

 

Hey, if you nail it on the head or are the closest, I'll send you a tee shirt too.

Do you want it washed or will you take it "as-is"? l

:thumbsup:

Thank you all for the guesses!
