Hey Babaganoosh, stay the course and finish.. No new ideas on how to make it better, I can"t wait another three years to see these build on the rocks of Moab this year. Great work, hope all work out well.

 

[Babaganoosh]

In 3 hours we will see some dyno numbers.

 

[GWeakland620]

nice

 

[beags86]

I guess 260 at the rear wheels.

I also don't remember what you had done to this engine. Hope you have more...

 

[Babaganoosh]

Just a cam with a air intake headers and exhaust.

[y5mgisi]

I'll say 240 at the wheels.

 

[beags86]

Hmm.... Then I say 260-285 is a good range. Very interested in seeing what you put down

 

[Babaganoosh]

200 horse at 4800rpm with a dead valve.

 

[MAX89K5]

Wtf?? That's not what we wanted to hear!

Hope its a simple/quick fix..

 

[beags86]

What else do you know? What diagnostics have you done?
Bummer.

Also 4800 isn't very much, could you not get it higher?

200 horse at 4800rpm with a dead valve.

What!?

 

[Babaganoosh]

Not sure it fell off on the dyno so he got off the throttle

 

[rompinstompinmudmonkey]

Did you swap Valve springs when you installed the cam?

 

[Babaganoosh]

Yes, they are the ones recommended by comp cams for the cam. All new lifters also.

 

[rompinstompinmudmonkey]

Did you find the valve problem? Did one of the retainers fall out or something?

 

[Babaganoosh]

Not sure won't be able to tear into it today

 

[campfire]

Not sure won't be able to tear into it today

The 200hp was in 2nd gear, tuner said add another 20-30hp sense the gear wasn't 1:1 so at 4800rpm I made 230hp on 7cylinders
