Re: 427 Assembled
Was that the envelop cracking that we just heard?? Something like 1.64 hp/ci, NA is significantly above most big inch LT5s.
WOW! Congratz, congratz, congratz, & KUDOS to you Todd!  You can do some serious terrorizing with that!! P. Last edited by Paul Workman; 01-20-2011 at 09:31 AM. |

Re: 427 Assembled
Once we hit the target on the second full 7k pull, I cashed in my chips and we called it a succesful day. No sense beating the hell out of it for a few more hp. It is a safe tune at this point... not living too close to the edge.
It was a great experience, and Marc is terrific to work with. I've still got a lot of driveability tuning to do, once the engine is back in the car. The cams are wicked to say the least. Funny thing, we were both noticing how (relatively) calm the thing was at 2000 rpm while breaking it in. Hmmm, maybe this won't be so bad.... Then we idled it down to 1000, where the cal was set.  OMG, what a difference. It was shaking everything attached to it at that low idle. The manifold vacuum was ridiculous, significantly lower than 415/440's on Stage 3 cams. So we decided 1100 minimum idle speed, and it seemed a little happier there. We'll see what it's like with a car around it.It actually made 700 hp +/- from about 6500 to 7000. Oh, and 588 lb-ft torque. (my neighbors are gonna hate me for the noise!) Todd |

Re: 427 Assembled
Impressive to say the least
 Is this going to be a one off or be made available in one form or another to your humble Z Brothers?=D> |
