When do you plan on going to the chassis dyno?
What were your engine dyno numbers?
Will
The engine produced 534 horse power at 6500 rpm with a 830 cfm Quick Fuel carb that was untouched. It is a 388 cubic inch Fontana block with CHI 3V heads and matching CHI single plane air gap intake manifold. My numbers are going to be somewhat off now, because the chassis dyno tuning will be done with a F.A.S.T XFI 2.0 fuel port fuel injection system installed. Pantera Performance Center in Castle Rock Colorado has the car and should have the engine installed and run on the chassis dyno sometime in September. The power maximum horse power may not go up with the fuel injection installed, but it should not be less either.
Pantera Performance Center claims that there is about a 80 horse power loss through the ZF. They have done a lot of engine and chassis dyno runs on Panteras through the years and that is the figure that I have been given. The real proof to myself will be when we actually put mine on the dyno.
