Okay. The "" at the end of your statement must've thrown me then. I look at that and I picture the person posting it saying "Wow" in a very sarcastic way. I apologize for reading into it incorrectly. I'm obviously not trying to have the largest numbers out there. It's more of a curiosity thing for me.
Again, sorry for the misunderstanding.

THEN after that you will most likely have to retune at the track as the air will be differant that the day you were at the dyno. Also be aware the those desktop dynos are usually high compaired to real dyno number. My 406 on the desktop said it should be 675hp but that was not the cae was it?. So build your engine get the ballpark numbers then go to the track tune it in and you will be happy.
The only way you learn is by building something and if the results are not what you wanted then go back and do it again...again...and again, sometimes costly but that's part of racing and building street cars. What works for one guy might not work for the next and if you need help don't hesitate to PM me and I can help you.

I really wasn't concerned with rwhp to be honest. It kinda just took that turn. I realize that there are more variables when that comes into play. I guess that's why I was looking for flywheel guesses more-so.
I'm not really the type to need to have tons and tons of horsepower. I don't plan on taking the car to the track more than a handful of times per summer. I'd rather it be something that I can hop into, turn the key, and be able to cruise over to the Black Hills for the weekend without having to touch/tune a thing.
I've learned that the combo wasn't set up to make max hp. If I were to do it again I'd change some things. But I have to toy with it as is for a summer at least. There isn't even 50 miles on this set-up yet (and none of those have been "beating on it" miles) and I don't even know how it'll be once the other rear end and better suspension is in.
Thanks for the offer 602! There might be a time down the road that I'll consider re-camming the engine (hyd. roller) and I'll look for some input at that time.:cool:

And you should already know who will be tuning it.

And the high school kids can keep thinking what they want. Or you can run them. They don't bother me like they must bother you
