Ok Mike decided to get after it today and made 2 warm up pulls to make sure no leaks and it wasn't going to grenade. :hairpullout:
Here is what he gave me for details:

30 degrees timing
Brad Penn 10w30 (18 quarts total!)
108 psi oil pressure

both runs from 4900 to 6600

604 ft lbs @ 4900
608 ft lbs @ 6600
peak of 640+ somewhere in between

764 hp @ 6600 and still climbing

The real fun and tuning begins tomorrow. :bigun2:

Flash68 08-21-2013 05:39 PM

I feel like I should be more excited but I'm honestly just relieved that all went well. The excitement is starting to build though. :cheers:

Best numbers of the session:

795 hp @ 7200
643 ft lbs @ 5700

600+ ft lbs from 4800 to 6900

30* timing (tried 32* but roughly the same output)
No jet changes
1" 4-hole spacer

after warm up oil pressure settled at 30 psi @ idle
WOT oil psi still kinda high but Mike likes it

Mike is happy with the conservative timing & fuel numbers and thinks that gives me plenty of leeway for any future operator error. :D

I give you the FE Eater... turn up the volume if you'd like.

(and that's Pete on the right... he guards my motor from any Ford saboteur)

You got that straight! Driver gonna need some work! :lol:

57hemicuda 08-21-2013 06:00 PM

If that doesn't give you a bit of a puffer, nothing will. Looks like the pulls went to 7500, which is short shifting that engine. LOL Hell, that thing should last forever keeping the rpm's down there. I really can't wait to see how the car puts down that much power, should be a hand full.

Randy Johnson's car made I think he said over 900hp at the wheels and it worked really well at Motorstate. If its anything like my experience with new engines, 2 weeks in you'll wondering what you can do to make it faster.

It's gonna be "interesting" on 200 tread wear tires and sound nice in the straights. :)

Hey Dave ! Congrats on getting her done ... dyno'd ... and making big power. :trophy-1302:

When you come off your high ... later this year ... I have questions.
a. Do you know why the dyno sheet shows two fuel lb/hr columns (A & B)
b. The BSFC #s are utilizing Fuel B Lb/Hr ... ask him if these #'s are accurate?
c. Did you guys run any EGT or O2 sensors? If yes, can you post those sheets?
d. Did you guys do any carb tuning?
e. If yes, did you tune any air bleeds?

I can tell you guys ran her "safe" by the BSFC #s. You remember when I said mine was "developed"?

I think your baby has another 25-30 hp in her up top ... but you'll never need it anyway.

Congrats !!! :thumbsup:


Ron in SoCal 08-21-2013 06:48 PM

That motor sounds insane! Very nice Dave.

sik68 08-21-2013 08:35 PM

Congrats on the successful pulls and making da big boy power, the car is going to be insane! 795hp at 84 deg air temp....you're over 800hp on most Bay Area days.

:flag2:

What's your rear gear ratio again?
