CrazyDavey Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 After making some changes and just checking things out in general I took the motor to the engine dyno today. I think the numbers are fairly good. I wanted a motor that worked under 6000 rpm and that's what I ended up with. Same stock GM shortblock, just checked the bearings and cylinders, everything was very good. Added some 305 AFR heads, a Chris Straub hyd roller and a Victor Jr intake. Played with timing, jetting, power valve and carb spacers. It liked 36 degrees, 2 steps up on the jets, a 8.5 power valve and a 1 1/2" spacer....the motor was very consistent with the pulls varying only 3 tenths of one percent.... ..Davey Quote
dbreese Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 That is some torque monster!!! Very nice numbers and makes a butt load down low. HP numbers look really nice also! Now I know why that Velle runs like a scalded dog!!! David Quote
CrazyDavey Posted June 10, 2010 Author Posted June 10, 2010 well I haven't run this combo yet Dave so we'll see if it improves.... Quote
dbreese Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 well I haven't run this combo yet Dave so we'll see if it improves.... DUHHHH! I guess I should read the post better. I say 10.30's easy and bigger wheel stands!!!! Go get'em Davey!!! David Quote
Chevyss Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Nice numbers Davey. The Velle should really run sweet. Low 10s??? Quote
7tonemonte Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 You pulling stumps with that thing on weekends too Dave? Strong #s for sure Quote
Andy's Auto Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 I see .10s or .20s in your very near future Davey. Very nice. Are still with us pump gas guys? Andy Quote
Heckeng Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 That is one awesome combo. Completely street drivable, 650hp and a trunk full of torque! Quote
Winston Wolf Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Impressive. You're going to twist that white whale apart. Did Straub work your intake too? Quote
CrazyDavey Posted June 10, 2010 Author Posted June 10, 2010 thanks everyone, I'm pretty pleased with the results. It's come a long way in the last year... No Justin, we just cleaned up the plenum a bit and put it on. The port match to the heads was right on so we just made some custom gaskets to make sure we had a full seal. here it is hooked up to the dyno life support... Quote
Chevyss Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Dave, now that's a monster. Some great numbers. I'd sure like to get mine on the dyno. Quote
monte70car Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Dave are those the headers you run in the Chevelle? If not you could see a difference in the #'s. Quote
Chevyss Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 What intake is that? I know you told it before, just curious. Quote
wallaby Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Cripes! Those are the numbers I want. 591 lbft @ 3000rpm!! ...and all done at 6000rpm. Perfect. How crazy is that engine? I mean is it well behaved, or would you consider it streetable? Quote
CrazyDavey Posted June 10, 2010 Author Posted June 10, 2010 Royce it's a slightly re-worked Edelbrock Victor Jr.... Mark it is well behaved and totally streetable. Durationwise the new cam is actually smaller than the one that was in it...it's the profile design that makes it work so good....Davey Quote
Monte7071 Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 All I can say is wow now I know why your velle is a beast. Proof that all it takes is a good combo and of course money. Quote
TN454Monte Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Bet's on his next ET? Anyone? I'm in for 10.48... Quote
CrazyDavey Posted June 11, 2010 Author Posted June 11, 2010 Bet's on his next ET? Anyone? I'm in for 10.48... let's not set that bar too high okay?.... Quote
