Funny that your dyno graph practically starts at 4k rpm. Because racecar...

It is a punching bag... and well deserved eh.
Starts at 3900 because dyno operator likes to go easy on his dyno, that's all.
I'd be willing to bet this thing makes very respectable torque well below that 3900 number.
437 inches and a cam that's really not that rowdy. I am leaving a ton of power on the table with the heads on this thing due to mild cam and low rocker ratio (1.7) vs your average SB2.2 headed engine.

Bad Ron, are you actually in support of me here? Kinda? On the down low?

Nothing like cubes to bring a power band down to the left.

My apologies that you bought a used motor to start with and never touched it before installing.
In all seriousness, I can't recall the specs of yours, but mine has pretty mild spring pressures considering the parts list. I hope this serves me well in the interim and in the longer term.
