These hotrod magazine Westech dyno pulls always seem a little ‘happy’ to me. If these numbers come out of that motor it (and 400hp out of the junkyard 360 on the other example) makes me wonder if Mopar underrated their crate motors?.

I wonder what the the Mopar crate 402 435 hp motor would show on a westech dyno? The did a junkyard 360 with smaller less efficient heads, stock bottom end, and the same cam as in the 402 and it made 400hp? The 402 has superior r/t heads, hyper u pistons, h-beam rods, larger valves, same cam, m1 intake, and 42 cubic inches more and only makes 35 horsepower more than the junkyard 360 as according to Mopar’s rating anyway?

Ever been on a dyno? Ever been on the dyno at westech? I have and I have. And I can tell you first hand you can trust the numbers that come out of that shop. There is no manipulation of the numbers for the magazines. They do everything they can to equalize all of the variables to get realistic information. They call it the polygraph, read above the door.
