If I am correct the dyno expert you have would be Harold Bettes. Not only is Harold an excellent choice, it provides us with an opportunity to complete the task with a minimal amount of logistical hardship for all involved.
From Nov 28-30, 2011 Harold will be The Master of Ceremonies for the Advanced Engineering Technology Conference, which precedes PRI, in Orlando. I will be attending both AETC and PRI and I have confirmed Alex Haxby, and Tony Mamo from AFR will be arriving for PRI (12/1-3). With everyone involved converging upon Orlando for these events, what better opportunity to crate up both engines, ship them to Florida (at a minimal expense to all compared to transcontinental flights) and dyno them both right in Orlando. We can arrange for dyno time in advance, possibly with Mike Laws who will be hosting the carb Shootout test, or at the Autoshop (former Engine Masters Winner) facility in Orlando. I believe it would be appropriate to provide Harold with appearance funds, with any balance to be refunded to the participants upon payment of dyno facility, fuel expenses etc.
Each person I have spoken to has confirmed for this arrangement. The only details left would be to refine the conditions you set earlier in this thread.

"Mark ran a isky 280 cam 232/565” 9.5cr ported 236 head 454 to 5600rpms 547hp / 580ft lbs"


:bsflag: he must have used the dyno at Dereberry Performance Marine.

As a side note Im allways open to dyno challenges, please feel free

Well Bob, I wouldnt have any hesitation running one of my 454s at a 5000 RPM limit against one of yours at the same compression and cam profile, but this is the internet, I have yet to see anyone step up, but please feel free to do so. Whats wrong with a good old fashion dyno shoot out?

Yea, and it looks like it might happen, now if we can just get Madera involved in designing the cam over there on the other side, I think this could be very informative for the boating world. A real dyno shoot out that cuts through the :bsflag:


We can hammer out the fine details but, since this is a performance boating website the only thing set in stone is WOT for at least 20mins on 89 octane, just like in a boat. If you can't do that then go ask for a shootout on an automotive foum.. Thanks, Alex.

I'll donate my labor to both teams for the day(s) of this dyno challenge.

Let me know when and where and I'll fly in to help.

I test these engines on a SF 901 dyno with 2 inch full length headers into 3 inch exhaust. I know nothing about boats, but was searching forums and found this thread and felt compelled to stand by my dyno numbers, thanks for your interest. But to answer your question, dry 1 7/8 X 36 headers into a top ten shoot out 3 inch center in center out muffler.

:bsflag: Dude go back to performance boats where all your buddies are , you say you know little about boats but you post all the time on PB so now you show up here and of course you mess is always better then anyone else's and you make more power then anyone else. Funny thing as many pokerruns as i have been on i have never seen one motor you did at any of them.

Really, do you think making 560 HP with a 236 head is something extra ordinary? I dont.
