No not yet. After i got the motors back i had to wait about a week for the trannys. I got them back and have been SLOWLY getting things together. It seems one thing or another has been fighting me along with family functions i had to attend to. This weekend i am going to be hitting her pretty good and hopefully i will have both of them rigged ready to go in. Thanks for checking on me though!!

cam specs please. Not just advertised lift and duration, but preferably grind number, etc. If you don't know the whole specs, please give the ones you DO know in specifics.
Your torque peak is coming in too early. Cam may be advanced. What centerline is it installed on? What's the air/fuel ratio and BSFC? EGTs? More dyno data please.

What are you running for jets in the carbs? I tried to run the HP500 850cfm double pumper carbs on engines like yours only with GM Vortec L29 heads with bowl work and larger 2.18 intakes and got the same hp numbers as yours. I changed to 780 hollys with vaccum secondaries and picked up 42hp and got better fuel milage. Also ran a 1" 4 hole spacer between the carb and intake. Ended up with 466hp@5000rpm
