Dyno testing a stock(?) 1972 440

Who said that? I was talkin about thumpr and whiplash cams. He's used neither. I think he's makin more power than they would. That's my whole point. You inferred incorrectly.


I think he was talking about my comment. I said that. I stand by it. He's not making any more or less power than anyone else could or did. But his approach is decidedly not "modern" - using an original mid 70s lower end and door stop 516s (albeit reworked) and a cam designed in the 70s. I applaud the effort and it's cool to see the results reagrdless. but as far as this being possibly a new and unknown power combo - it's nothing even close. It's not my dyno, nor my time, but what might be fun would be a complete modern machined short block, using stock lower end parts but IQ's high level of machining quality, and a set of unmodified 516s, or 452s, or 346s, with a modern out of a catalog/off the shelf camshaft to note the differences between yesterday and today.
