Thanks Jake. He had the computers reprogramed for 540 cubic inch motors. Now he will tweak them at the dyno as well. Mine are or were two completely different animals. Nothing even close about the 415s mine were before. Calibration got the computers in the ball park so to speak and now he will tune them. Hope that makes sense of what I'm trying to say. My new motors started out to be 509s and 500 HP. That's what I started the thread on. After Ron got into them and bored the first time he called me ask If I mind if he just bored to 540s and put stroker kits in them. I told him absolutely not I didn't mind. So now we should be right around 617 pounds of torque and about 600 HP. No longer just 500s. Is that what's throwing you off on why he sent the computers out ??

600 HP......nice......gas pumps will love ya norm 1.5 miles per gallon at half throttle LOL second mortgage required if ya run WOT LOL

Barry

We have a Poker Run in Hawkesbury Ontario July 4th and 5th, one in Kingston Ontario (1000 Islands) August 8th, 9th & 10th that's supposed to be a monster of an event. We should target one weekend in July to meet up. I'd need some advice (address) on where to launch my boat and would look forward to meeting up with you and your crew for a super weekend. Hotel recommendations would be greatly appreciated....obviously some place with with a Marina etc. Hope to meet you at the launch.

Are there any events in July on the lake that we should be shooting for or do you just cruise around and enjoy the scenery? Do the fountain guys ever hook up or do you guys hang with a crew on the water? Beautiful body of water, looking forward to hopefully spending a weekend on it..lol

Have a super day!
