If in doubt, it probably IS a mistake.

Just going back through the build, you were looking for "north of 450".

487? 

I say "Bullseye".

Well done, guys.  cheers

Looking forward to additional reports.

The beast lives! cheers

We fired the engine, and she sounds like a SNOTTY BITCH- I expect bid numbers, flathead wise!! We have a mechanical water pump issue, and will substitute an electrical water pump in the morning.

Serious dyno work will commence tomorrow, once Don, Carl, and Jim join us!


G'night!

I'm thinking that Reply 1049 of 487 HP was someone's guess in the pool rather than a pull (?).

Sparky, unless you've been snacking on sardines or other minnows -- I think you meant to say "bated" breath.  Just sayin', you know. . . evil evil

Guys, we just saw 496 hp @5000 rpm, with a LOT of hp still available!

You can only imagine what Dale and I are feeling at the moment!
