I'm hoping some standard header application will be close enough. Custom headers will cost too much (either time or money, or both)    If a decent set of long tube headers fit, the engine should put out just over 500 HP at the crank. Otherwise, it'll be in the low to mid 400s...    Hopefully the rear will hold on the dyno.
JohnCh Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 And to think I was excited that my new cams are going to bump my engine to 220hp... Thanks for putting things into perspective http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/wink5.gif    -John
Robert O. Urfer Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 Boo!!!!! I wanted a ride. More fun next time!!!! Oh well.
slngsht Posted December 12, 2006 Author Posted December 12, 2006 Boo!!!!! I wanted a ride. More fun next time!!!! Oh well.    Sorry man... I have my vette up there for a new clutch and 4.10 gears, and couldn't find someone to help me pick it up. What better way than to drop the Rotus off and get the head/cam done...    Half way up to Baltimore I remembered that you were coming this weekend    Â

My red line should go from a whopping 6200 to a screaming 6700 ( I know some of you are just past idle at that point http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/biggrin5.gif ).    I just hope the idle won't be too lopey
JohnCh Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 My red line should go from a whopping 6200 to a screaming 6700    Whew! My redline will go from 7000 to 7500. Now I don't feel quite so inadequate http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/wink5.gif    -John

slngsht Posted January 4, 2007 Author Posted January 4, 2007 Just picked her up. What a nice day too.    http://www.usa7s.com/forum/uploads/20070104_085316_Dyno2.jpg    It's hard to read, but the numbers are as follows:    Before: 278 hp @ 5300 RPM, 270 ft.lb  After: 361 hp @ 6600 RPM, 321 ft.lb  net: 83 hp, 51 ft.lb      I decided to go with a less aggressive cam for a pretty smooth idle.    There is about 40 more horses in there if I build some headers.    3rd gear doesn't stand a chance now http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/smile5.gif
Al N. Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Can we have a separate class at teh 7-7-7 Auto-X for Mazda and anyone running slicks? http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/biggrinjester.gif
slngsht Posted January 4, 2007 Author Posted January 4, 2007 For the autox I have to put a throttle stop at 1/2 throttle http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/smile5.gif If there was a little more elbow room to open it up, it'd be more fun. Â Â Â I'm sure there'll be many faster autox cars there.
