511 RWHP and 540 RWTQ

**MauriSSio** · 07-26-2009, 03:43 PM

got my street Galaxie dynoed and tuned. It made 511RWHP and 540RWTQ not too bad considering its through the C6 + 9inch and 91 octane pump gasoline but the engine doesnt want to idle cuz i got shafted on the Torque converter (long story but itll idle it if i "help it" with the gas at a light or if i put it in neutral) that i wouldnt be surprised if it were a stock stall.Overall i say not bad for middle of the line street heads and affordable SCAT stroker kit.
anyways heres the combo

Bore: 4.44
stroke:4.3
Rods: 6.7"
Compression: 10.7:1
Cam: 260/269 @ .050 .650/.651 Solid Roller (Ground by scottyj)
Heads: Trick Flow Streets NOTB but port matched to intake
Intake: Edelbrock Victor
Carb: 1150 Dominator 3 circuit (not the new ones)
Headers:Crites 2" primaries, 3.5" collectors
Exhaust: 3" pipes, x-pipe
Mufflers: 3" Magnaflows
Fuel Pump: Clay Smith Mechanical
Water Pump: Edelbrock Mechanical
Fan: 3.8 Taurus electric
Distributor:MSD
Ignition: MSD 6A
Rear: ford 9inch Detroit Locker, 3.70 gears
Tranny: C6 non-roller

only thing that throws things off is the fact that it was dynoed on a dynapack that from what i read, it probably reads 10% lower than it should be, but its also possible that it can be manipulated to be optimistic so, whatever, its still a good dyno to tune a car on though.Cant run a spacer, engine rubs the cowl hood a lil at idle as it is. Also, it was through the mufflers. I have cutouts for the track. Oh yeah, according to the dyno sheet, it looks like the guy cut it short cuz the HP looks like its still climbing to me, but it MIGHT have been leveling off but its really hard to tell, still not sure why he would stop at 5600rpm (which is where the HP peaks at).......torque peak was at 3600-4200 btw ill see if i can post the graph

i should probably save the thank yous till it takes a trip down the track, but I want to thank Pual Kane for helping me out with this build he's been extremely helpful with it.

edit: LMAO i forgot to add that the engine is a 533 stroker. Heres a couple pics of the car

You definately have enough power and torque to move that big car around while cruising with the top down! Any idea how much it weighs, and what are you expecting it to run at the track?
