Dyno Day....

[fiddlerfingers]

Tomorrow is my Dyno session and I can't wait. Mike Liston just finished building my 71 340 stroker motor and he is predicting to get 520HP and 500fp Tork!!! Will post results tomorrow....

That's a healthy small block alright. Good luck with it.

Well the verdict is in...Not bad for a little old SB 340, it fell short of the 520 mark but it was a little humid... Final numbers after 4 pulls 502.9 Hp @ 5650 RPM and 505.7 Ft-Lb Torque @ 4256 RPM. The Torque was amazing, the graff chart is almost a straight line!!! Mike Liston knows how to build a awsome motor with lots of Torque and HP...

Very nice. Would put most all 383 or 440's to shame.
What are the details on the build?

[fiddlerfingers]

Stroked 340-416CI 10-1 compression Eagle H beam rods and Eagle 4.00 crank kit. Edlbrock RPM performer heads RE-ported, M-1 intake ported, Voodoo Cam 60404, Hughes Roller rockers 1/6 ratio, Bigs Stage 2 750cfm Carb, TTI headers...Block redecked and quench at 30 thousands...93 octane gas...

Humm, sounds to me like you need to install a larger gas tank. Maybe a couple more gasoline credit cards too! :^)

I will agree with that! Mike knows his $#!+ and builds great motors. I am talkig to him about building me a 470 for a new project. Great guy to deal with!!!

Word of caution though. I love horsepower as much as anybody. Always have, always will. But keep in mind that our cars are unibody construction. So that if you don't bother to tie the frame together with frame connectors of some sort. You'll have the same problem that a lot of my friends have had over the years with monster horsepower. The body will start flexing, and the next thing you know. You're trying to figure out why the doors on your car don't want to shut right, and the side windows don't line up. Because the body isn't straight anymore.
