MY500SS Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 My engine has now been completed and dyno-tested. It makes peak HP of 466 #6200 rpm, and peak torque of 458 @4700 with the 4-48 IDAs and the special grind cam, from Shelby Engines, sounds pretty stout. Great numbers. This sure will be one torquey little beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ageishecker Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 When it gets there you've got to visit Tom's shop. Besides meeting a really great guy he usually has pretty interesting stuff in the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeljgt500kr Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Thanks guys, it was pretty awesome to drive up to the shop and see a real "Snake Pit" (picture attached, CSX 7575 red stripe, another 50th FIA had just arrived, in foreground, mine is directly behind on the lift). Al, the tires are still on order and they are making them again just now (I understand they make them in batches), powder coat wheels, the brakes need adjustment, the Webers need final tune and my altitude jetting, alignment, and some other tweaks. Should be a month or so I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
