Darren's been dynoing on my motor some more, he's got the fuel mixture pretty dialed in. It made 216 at 7000 and 215 at 7500. He thinks it needs some 51.5 mm IDAs and would probably make another 5 hp or so with them. He also only had it vented at the alternator stand and thought it will make more when properly vented at the valve covers and case. I think for now we are going to leave it alone, 216 hp for a pump gas street motor is already pretty crazy.We may mess with it a little more in the morning though...

I don't have it yet, I just got those numbers from Darren over the phone. I'll get the curve tomorrow.
Don't forget though, I daily drove this motor for 5 months before, and it was great in traffic. I would putt around in 4th gear at 1900-2000 RPMs all day, no problem. My cam has the lift of an fk89, but "only" about 310 of duration (the ramps are really quick, about .010" lift per degree max), so its very streetable. I put a lot of thought into this combo.

Here's the final numbers: 231 hp @ 7,500 RPM :shock:
Over 160 ft-lbs of torque from 2,500 RPM up, with a max of 186 ft-lbs from 3500-4500
That should do the trick. Needless to say I'm pretty happy with the result.
Here's the chart

IF it is still a 2176cc that is alomst 2hp per cubic inch.. ASK a v8 guy just how much work/money it takes to achieve that..

Very respectable :thumbs:
