Re: DYNO RESULTS...
To get an estimate of dyno crank hp divide by .82 for driveline - then add at least 35 hp for exhaust and alternator drags, and PS pump, too.
310/.82 = 378
378 + 35 = 415 chp
Also, there are a few hp's left in the tuneup.
You had requested a completely driveable cam that would put you in the ballpark of CMRE 2 and it feels like a success, to me. Coy dynoed 325 rwhp with that amazing intercooler but bad tuneup (stock file-tunerboard crapped out) last year at Carlisle. He coulda put down 345 or so, I think.
Here's the good news - that cam only lifts .548 with some of the most aggressive lobes I've ever seen. You can go to a 1.80 rocker and be at .570 lift. Me, I know the .548 is better for street because of the wear and stress factors. And if you grind a cam to lift that high, instead of multiply it, you get into the soft part of the lobe on the cam's backside, again, not the best wear situation (ask me how I know!). But - if you get greedy for bragging rights - there it is.
What I'm banking on, is not peak numbers. I'm excited to see the plot of the dyno run, because you should have a big fat torque curve, with high average power figures (more important than peak) and again, more useful for street.
There's at least 30 more ponies in there, with your current blower/intake setup. [late nite ad voice] But wait ! There is more ! [/voice] By speccing the compression ratio as I did, you are able to use some blower od beyond what you have so far, if you put 100 octane no-lead in there. Try to keep your boost below 18 psi.
So, really, no need to change the cam lift, but Tom assured me that the engine was clearanced for .600 lift.
I hope you're pleased.
