Awesome numbers Kelvin. I'm just glad I run a different class than you, with you being back out again.

Even though the numbers are pretty close between Goatracer's Dual Dominator engine with NOS compression ratio and Calvin Poe's Single 4 BBL engine with higher compression you now have two good Dyno points for comparison with other engines.

Don't think "Happy Holbrook's Dyno" was as far off as some thought it was.

Again, Great Job, Calvin Poe.

Sounds like it will be a beast and will be a good performer.

Thanks for the questions.
Thanks Kelvin, just looking to compare with mine.
I see the single carb and now I see the dry sump.

Some similarities with mine.

It can't be.
Happy dyno, East Coast air, Solar flares, Polar Vortex, must be some logical explanation other than a good choice of parts, hard work and proper tuning.

Nicely done!

That is one FAT (!) tq curve.

Kelvin with the new HP you should be into the 7.80's pretty easily.

You ran the engine with alcohol on the dyno right?
The AFR shows 11/12 AFR which must be a conversion from the stoichiometric scale?
(never saw an alcohol dyno sheet)

Probably from the alcohol.

Congrats on the new power! If you can get it to Tulsa this fall, that should make for some good numbers at the track!

Probably from the alcohol.

Thanks John, I'll just be happy to be in the 7.90's.

Yes, that dyno sheet was on alcohol. I did make the first few pulls on gas, though, to get some heat in it and seat the rings.
