FlatCad Racing Tee Shirt Dyno Contest!!!

Ok guys and gals- how about a contest?

We're heading out to Vintage Hotrod in California, to see John Beck, and have him dyno the engine on March 12th.

So, I thought we'd see what HP everyone thought this engine would make. For those who haven't seen the build, here it is:

The contest is simple- The person who comes closest on guessing the HP the engine makes on the dyno, wins a FlatCad tee shirt.

The person that comes closest on the torque wins a tee shirt.

If the same person gets the HP and torque right, they will win a shirt, and a Flatcad print. We'll cap the contest off with the dyno video, showing the max numbers.

So, let's hear some guesses!

 

Okey Buddy & the team, please don't be angry with me if i miss,
but i would stand by my earlier numbers, so i say 482 Hp, no 496 Hp!
And 511 ft/lb of torque.

Alright, I'll play too- 493 HP.

 

OK I'll bite. 450 hp, 495 ft/lbs torque.

 

OK, 491 hp, 525 torque.

 

HP, 432, Torque, 452 Both below 5500. If I dont win one, I'll buy one on the salt.
Eagerly awaiting the video from the dyno, that way we all win.

 

478 hp 502 t

 

462 Hp, 487 Torque.

 

453hp,476 torque

 

375hp, 390torque

 

460 hp, 510 torque. I already have one of your black shirts, but why not a white one too?

 

521 hp 545 tq

 

527 hp / 529 tq

 

You can't have too much of a good thing! Lol!

Thanks for the support!

 

458 and 460 torque............
and man would I be happy with anything close.............

 

466 HP...469 Torque. Just a total wild ass guess. Hope your numbers exceed your expectations.

 

507.3hp-521Tq

 

425hp- 525tq

 

399 torque. 367 HP.

 

You guys are pretty optimistic, considering it's a 72 year old flathead!


... but I hope these high numbers are right!

 

421hp 476tq but hope for you it is higher

 

Oh, ye of little faith! It ain't the age, its the parts and the high level of craftsmanship that has us believing I think. If Cadillac built their engine blocks as stout back then as they did later on (high nickel content etc) I do believe the old girl will do just fine.

 

Haha! Oh, I have faith, but I also know the engine's weaknesses!

It'll make good power, but how much I don't know!

 

Well, look at it this way, you can only blow the crank out the bottom of the block once...oh, I guess that don't help much huh?

 

1 Dollar Bob.....

 

425 horse, 395 torque

 

How's this for a little inspiration?
