z383z Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Finally got the car running. Last sat I had it on a dynojet. The shop didn't have a tail pipe o2 and I don't have a bung in my exhaust yet. I just wanted to see about where I was. The carb was messed with by who knows who and it is running amazingly rich. Pretty much nothing is dialed in at all just slapped together driven broken in a taken to the dyno. I was expecting with how rich it was running and with the small carb that I would be making about 375whp. Oh yeah here is my engine build from my last post. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=127132 It was a fun morning and I made more than I expected. My first pull I made 422ftlbs but he needed fresh air after that pull and lost it so the sheet just shows the 2nd two. I am def. happy and impressed with the results and am even more happy that I will be able to squeeze a little more out of it going to a 750 and getting it tuned right.

blueovalz Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Very nice to see this. I'm building a 383 (Ford version though), with comparable components. My cam will have similar specs with the exception of about 10º more duration. I can't wait to crank it up. Right know the current 289 is completely unhooked from the chassis, and I'm waiting until tomorrow to yank it out and put the 383 in it's place. Let us know what your "tuned" version turns out.
