FlatCad Racing Tee Shirt Dyno Contest!!!

Well, the engine is loaded in the truck! Tomorrow morning, I'll spend Easter with the kids and grandkids, then in the afternoon, I'll finish the temporary chiller tank, anfd finish loading the truck.

I'll leave at 2:30 A.M. Monday morning, and stop and see Wayno. Then it's on to Chico, where I'll pick up Dale at the airport at 11:30 P.M.

Tuesday we'll be setting the engine up on the dyno, doing electrical and the plumbing that can't be done until the engine is all together.

Wednesday we should hear and see our efforts 'come alive for the first time!

So, keep guessing!

 

I'm at Vintage Hot Rod Design in Chico, CA., and we just unloaded the engine!

Get your guess in- time's almost up!

 

God luck Buddy & crew!

I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Hummmmmmmmmmmm

 

The beast lives! We fired it, and serious dyno testing will be tomorrow!

Get your guesses in now, as time is almost up!

Don, Carl, and Jim are joining us tomorrow!

 

This shall be very interesting and my latest prediction will be...... drum roll 464,5 hp and 482,6 Tq

 

474HP,432FT/LB!! Good luck!!

 

Okay tell it to us straight Doc! What kinda numbers are we looking at?

 

I'm saying...366 HP @ around 5600rpm

 

Spent the day at the dyno and the results are in -------

 

I'm saying...366 HP @ around 5600rpm

Way off not even close.............

 

75 hp...

at idle!

 

Guys, it's been a long, but rewarding day! We tuned the engine VERY conservatively, never exceeding 5500 RPM, or 14.2lbs boost. I'm not B.S.ing when I say there is a LOT of HP left to be had, but we are not sure at what cost the extra hp may come!

I've tried to post a couple of short videos, with no luck. I'll try again in the morning-if that doesn't work, I'll post a screen shot of the final run.

I REALLY want to thank everyone for the support, and kind words of encouragement!

 

No #'s posted yet so I'm guessing!
488 hp & 529 torque

 

That's not fair Buddy!

I have been up all night waiting for the number!
488 hell no, let's say 591.5 Hp....or more!

Well, you win the torque!

I'm calling this one a tie! no bux said 565 IF we got to 15lbs boost, and we didn't. Still, very good guesses, guys! PM me your addresses, and sizes, and I"ll send you shirts!

Final numbers were 570HP, 544 ft/lbs torque, at 5500 rpms with 14.2 lbsboost!

 

Awesome numbers! too bad I didnt win though. I really wanted that free t-shirt maybe next time! keep up the hard work fellas

 

still gonna buy a shirt or two... to keep your efforts alive and well. great work guys.

 

Wore my FlatCad tee shirt to work Sunday, coupla guys asked me about it and were surprised at the power your engine put out. Also told them about the HAMB and hopefully we'll have not only a coupla new HAMBers but supporters of the FlatCad.

 

Roger made a close guess, and hope he is as close on our "killer"!?

Oh! Was flying colours of the Flatcad, had the T on this weekend for our anual xmas table
