Missed on this combo?
Well not sure if I missed in this combo, if Hughes missed or should I just be happy.
Here's the combo
LA 360 bored 4.040. Machined to perfection, lifter bores bushed. yad yada
Scat 4 inch forged crank with pro series I beams. ARP 2000 bolts
Icon forged flat tops .004 out of the hole(trying for 0 deck, but had to
machine more to get decks parallel and square) Hughes girdle, studs
mains and heads, tight quench.
Eddy closed chamber Hughes Full CNC 68cc chambers
2.08/1.6 backcut valves. Hughes 1.6 rockers with B3 geometry
correction.
Bullet solid roller .668/.668 259/265 dur. @ .050 108LSA
installed at 104 degrees per Bullet
Ported Super Victor with my old Holley HP950
So its a 11.4 o 1, 410, that I thought forsure would hit the 580HP mark. The pull you see here had AFR numbers from 12.7 to 12.9 through the run.
MY thoughts are maybe the Hughes heads do NOT flow as advertised...my dyno guy/machinist HATES the exhaust port. Thank God I got the heads free, but paid Hughes dearly for their CNC job.
He also felt it needs more carb. Said the old 950 doesn't flow 950. I know that. He told me after all the money spent I pretty much have to find a carb. He suggested BLP. He felt the carb was leaving 20 HP on the table.
I should mention that I dyno spinning my MP hi flow water pump AND the last pull we made he threw on a 1/2 inch open spacer and it made 567HP. I have no underhood room for a spacer so I really wasn't interested in going to a 1 inch.
AH yeah. Schoenfeld 1 3/4 dyno headers. Sunoco 93 Premium pump gas. I was not VP 100. Somehow that came up from last year.
Well there ya have it. Do you think a new carb can help this thing?
