The static compression worked out to 9.94 to 1 exactly and cam was degreed in to be -2 (best Desktop Dyno numbers with the 2800...actually with the 2801 & 2802 cams too for yucks). The dipstick tubes and windage tray are installed, so now the heads are next. The Desktop Dyno is predicting 359 hp at 5000 rpm and 432 lbft at 3500 rpm. It'll probably be closer to 350 hp and 440 lbft., but we'll soon see.
Hopefully break-in will be in a couple weeks ,then to the dyno to see what a small valve 400 will do in pure stock form with just below advertised compression (10.0 to 1).
