Text me pics of yours |
Btw. I must say you got it going on. I've got a lot on my plate so just kinda read through quickly although think it's great want your doing. Sorry if I missed it but is this going to be 8.5:1 builds with future forced induction or going to stay NA and just want to keep comp down. On another note I sent Valako a 2927 SV and he didn't like it and wanted to find something with longer runners. I suggested sniper jr and he didn't care for the cross section and evidently had tried it on a build and was done making power to low. So we left it with going with the brodix hv2001 dom flange. This was for 555/565 NA builds with the promaxx heads tricked out. I just jumped the gun before heads complete cause he plans to raise the floors.
Builds changed to SC so threw all the concerns of intake out the window. I woulda been very close to your position on this as I don't like to dyno to just look for afr', egt's and oil leaks. Funny how builds can be so similar yet result in completely different likes and needs. |
Do a little reading btwn this and bck's and it makes my head hurt. Lol. Keep up the good work. I just ordered speedmaster blower intakes. i was a little reluctant at first cause their an 1" higher than most others. Hopefully the SC likes the extra plenum.

Your gonna have to rename your boat to "Wang Chung" Tonight. :evilb:
|
I am running this Canton pan.
https://www.cantonracingproducts.com...MP-MARINE-PAN/ I've had her up to 6500 in dyno several times, in full marine trim, with the remote filter, cooler, etc, and oil psi didn't dip even half a psi. 6200 in boat, no oil psi drops. I do however, only have a 4" stroke. fwiw. |

Great post. Keep it up.
I have the parts laying around, i got on this kick to make 680/700 reliable hp on 89 or 87 octane since i own the pistons already, IF I cant make 650 with a safe tune that can be held at wot for 20 min at a time or I blow this up on dyno then I'll punch both blocks to 4.600 and bump compression to 10-1 Im excited to see what your boat runs too. I like the 30-33' step boats for making a real hot rod. You're definitely on the right track about RPMs and operating range Gonna run the low compression until you get bored then boost them? |

Not at shop and cant figure out how the fuk to get pictures off my dying note 4 onto my new one so I took a fkng pic of the picture on old phone! intake plenum after I touched it up, it was probably better before but you can see its no where as nasty looking as the procomp tim posted, Dam!

I like that we've touched 675hp, with a 8.5:1 540 platform with a chinaman intake. And a cam that was intended to be used with a blower.
|
me too, gives me some hope.... I think... haha

Steve, when it comes time to try different cams, you going to try a solid roller profile, or stick with the hyd stick with solid lifters ?

Steve, I am back from vacation, I could send my carb if you still want to try it, text me ..
|
Smitty, what type of carb spacer you need/want? I can 3D print you up 1", 2", 3" or4"+.

We dynoed my engines with no spacer, open spacer, 4 hole super sucker, and ended up with both the 1" open AND the 1" 4 hole on my Foxwell ported Victor Jr. And a 1190 Prosystems dom

Great info and a ton of work, so thanks for posting the results.
My guess is the efi will have a little less power with a smidge more midrange torque and better manners. |
cool, let me see if I can send over next 2 days

Im moving on to efi after i get everythi g out of this that it can make, probably sometimes next week. If you can send me your carb and FA this week ill test it before moving on. You can find my address on our fb business page smittyseng or on our website contact page : smittysengtrans.com

Smitty, I think what you are seeing is what a lot of drag race guys found a while back, the 4500, with a spacer/adapter to 4150 shows a strong signal to the carb and works very well, I know a few guys swear by this setup...

Big block in general, if they need a DOM, tend to like a Dom manifold too. |

Last year , a friend had dynoed with dominators. First one was a modified one from Nickerson. They tuned it on the dyno. It had a good afr from 4000 to 6500, but below that, it was all over the place. Tons of changes to the carb, and they werent happy with it. They put on a box stock ultra gen 3 dominator, made a couple jet changes , they had a rock sollid afr from 3200-6500, and picked up about 18hp if i recall at peak.
I think booster style can play a big role in the fuel atomoization. Straightleg, downleg, annular, etc. |
SO - does an EFI gain from having a spacer. I have the HOLLEY 2000 CFM throttle body ( 4500 )

kinda what I saw, but was from top of carb looking down, both really show weird stuff going on...

popcorn ....... I love your threads .....

Finally had a chance to get back to this, made a couple pulls tonight first pull established a baseline for today, same day same Dyno of course check timing check valve lash over previous good runs. Controlled the shop conditions until correction factor was almost dead identical to the other day made a baseline pull, horsepower numbers almost identical to last Saturday. Added a second inch of spacer under the Dominator gained four horsepower, lost 10 foot pounds of torque numbers look like s*** with this Dominator on there. Borrowing a box stock 1050 Dominator off a customer's race truck we have at our shop going to make a couple pulls with it when I get time in the next few days then I'm going to bolt the modded 4150 back on

If I sent you one of these, would it be worth a test
