Well its been a bit since I have got to post anything worth while. First of all I would like to recommend a few businesses/people that have helped me out. Whipple has been more than supportive and provided the 150mm upgrade and 3" pulley these pulls were made on. BA Motorsports for helping build the car, Finish Line Performance and Team Beefcake Racing for the use of the dyno and giving great deals on parts. Palm Beach Dyno and Rob Shoemaker for the tune. BES Racing Engines for the motor build. THANK YOU!
Saturday we put the car on the dyno at FLP/Team Beefcake Racing. Rob went to work with the tune. It all depends on which numbers you guys want to compare it to, but it made 1012 or 1036 to the wheels and both over 800ft lbs of torque.
To give a little information, the short block has been sleeved with an epoxy short fill for strength, Ross Pistons, FRP Boss Crank, ported heads with Manley Race Valves and Comp Cams Stage III NA cams. In preparation of making more power we upgraded to ID 1700 cc injectors, upgraded the 1 7/8 ARH and H pipe to ARH 2" headers and X pipe.
On the dyno the Whipple would hit hard with max boost on the 3" pulley with 24lbs.. At 6000 rpm's the boost would start to fall and maintain about an average of 22lbs. IMO I'm starting to think the Whipple is maxed out about 1050 rwhp or so. I have never seen efficiency numbers posted or max boost or effort numbers, but according to PBD this is near the top.
Feel free to chime in with comments or questions.
