As an Engineer I am used to setting goals and objectives. I did it for my 400, and I have thought about it for the 482. I will be disappointed if it doesn't make at least 720 (therefore the objective), and I would be ecstatic if it made 750 (the goal). 735 is right in the middle, and that is about what I think the result will be.

Hey Jim, VERY nice, congrats!

BTW, I'm sure you've posted this before, but is that a 4.25" x 4.25" deal?

That is one nice motor. I cant wait to build another motor with an aftermarket block. Good luck in your dyno run.

Jim, if you have the new engine in your car by then, you could have a nice avatar like mine ,when we race again just like last year.

Jim, That is a nice looking machine. Noone has said anything about the carb. Who did the work? Have you used one before?

Jim

Jim - It is an aerosol carburetor by C&S Specialties, and I have not used one before. We will have another known carb at the dyno to compare it to. It is a Demon that was on a 474 that made 718 HP.

ponchoshop - I am not sure of your definition of broad and narrow, but I would like to see good power from 5000-6500.
