This engine has 0.040 quench and only 10 to one compression. It also has unported intakes. We used no evacuation system just breather caps. We only got 7 good pulls and the dyno broke. This dyno sheet was with 80 jets(13 to one), we went to 77(14 to one) and it was too lean. Maybe a few more ponies with 78 or 79s, but that isnt the limiting factor.

As you can see by the BSFC numbers at 6800RPM, that is where we lost power from the street valve springs, so we think it will make tons more power with a bit more valve spring.

We will probably port the intake, zero deck the block and compression to 11.5 to one, scraper, crank tray, more valve spring and try again sometime in November.  If anyone is interested in purchasing this style crate engine, the starting cost is priced at $16K with single 4.
