That came from my Hot Road Power Tour trip when I put it on a traveling dyno "as driven". No air cleaner removal, no uncorking exhaust, no
nothing - just backed it on the dyno and ran it.

I made 675 lb ft of torque and 549 horsepower (engine corrected). There was a problem with my horsepower in that my power dropped off at around 4800 RPM. The car should be in the 600s for horsepower, but something was falling on its face as it revved up. Maybe not enough fuel? We are not sure so there is more power there to be had. At some point I will head to
@Nxcoupe so we can dyno it and try to correct what is going on.
Anyway, it is a 400 based stroker engine displacing 500 CID. It was originally built by
@qkcuda and I bought the engine from him. I tore it down and refreshed/checked everything. It runs light 10:1 pistons, Edelbrock aluminum heads, and a roller cam. EVERY aspect of the engine was carefully checked and blueprinted when it was assembled. Deck heights, bores, all component weights, etc. have all been made exactly right.
I built it to look as factory stock as possible - it's a fun car!
