My 360 in my grey van has 550 hp. It runs 9.90s in the 1/8 at 70 mph. It's 550 hp but just too many variables to show up at the track. It's not spinning, running good actually. You all got my back, right?? LOL
Brainstormin' 440 vs 5.9 ...

@TT5.9mag, and the rest of you on my guess list, when something is done on the RV 440, I will start a new thread and move the list over there. This has what, 13 pages in a row on 100% irrelevance. Alright, the few that haven't guessed but aren't going to let it get back on track... have at it!! It's now a "DYNO" thread LOL. I'm fine with that. 
Start laying out the dyno sheets, post the next dyno meet and at what track, what's the runner up payout, and does dyno racing have a no-box class???

You missed my point completely. This motor hasn't been dynoed in it's current configuration. You're saying it looks ridiculous because of a number that is being made up. Maybe even two numbers that are being made up if you don't believe the Wallace calculator to be correct in every combination or situation.
Let's look at this another way. If Joe takes this motor back to the dyno and it dynos at 500 hp. He doesn't believe that number so he takes it to another reputable dyno and it dynos at 500 hp. He still doesn't believe that number so he takes to a third dyno and it says 500. So it's possible that all three dynos are wrong but not likely. Now Joe has real data. He is using the scientific method to find the reason for the poor times at the track. He now puts this motor in another vehicle and the new vehicle runs a number that corresponds with a motor that makes 500 hp. Joe still isn't convinced so he puts it in another vehicle and it too runs the number. Still not convinced he puts it in yet another vehicle and gets the same results. Now he has real data to come to a conclusion. Either all the data is wrong, the calculator does not apply to the truck or there is something wrong with the truck. In any case he has data from diagnostic testing to support a conclusion. We don't have that in this case.
If you don't like this example then use this scenario. Joe takes the motor back to the original dyno and the motor is making 375 hp
He takes it to another dyno and 375hp. Etc. He puts the motor in another car and it runs a number consistent with 375hp. Etc. Again he has real data and it is backed up. He might conclude that the motor is indeed not making the 500hp he guessed it was making or the dynos are all wrong and the calculator is wrong which might lead to more testing etc.
You can imagine any scenario and even data that may support your conclusion that the number off the dyno doesn't ever show up at the race track acording to the Wallace calculator. If the tesing shows data that supports that conclusion the so be it. At least you used the scientific method to test and come to a conclusion based on real data. We don't have that in this case. We have little data and it has not been verified.
If you could show me testing and data ( more than one set of data points) that verifies this conclusion I would be more inclined to believe it. Especially if it defies industry wide accepted results. A common saying among researchers is extraordinary results require extraordinary proof.
It starts with this. Wow! That's not what I expected. I wonder if that's right. How can I verify to make sure it is?

I now want more tin grills. Here is mine at the Dyno
I had actually intended to edit Rusty’s original quote in like manner. I agree that if you’re using a properly calibrated and operated dynamometer and paying for the testing, then you should be maximizing your investment by tuning and modifying to replicate the results get the most out of it, even if that requires putting the engine onto the dyno as it’s going to be installed in the vehicle to get the actual as installed hp reading. And you should be able to predict the et & mph with a good degree of certainty with that information and make adjustments accordingly.
But, being this engine is probably never going to make it onto a dyno before going into the truck, that does make for more of a guess here. I’ll go as far to admit that my guess is a typo made by sausage fingering the touch screen of what I was originally trying to post, but I thought it’d be more fun to own it and didn’t want to edit it.
Trick question and you know it.
You know he’s got something wrong and you are blaming a crap MPH on a dyno when it’s the end user.
Ill asl you a yes or no question.
If the engine went back on the pump today would it make 500 hp?
YES OR NO.

I'm fine with that. So you agree with me that his pass was not a demonstration of 500 hp. Whatever the unknown hp is, it surely isn't 500. Let's move on
His pass wasn’t 500 hp but it doesn’t mean the engine e didn’t make that on the dyno.
That’s 100% on Joe.
I’m betting the headers in the truck aren’t the same as what was used in the dyno.
I’m betting Joe is running 180 or hotter coolant temp and I’m betting it was 160 or less on the dyno.
Since Joe is your buddy call get him on the holler and ask him those two questions plus what ignition was used on the dyno and what ignition is on the truck.
Let’s hear that.
Your dyno doesn’t tell you a damn thing.
So you and Tim and Rob all think the dyno wasn’t calibrated correctly or whatever.
I already posted that I checked his numbers on some engine Joe drug over there and it was burning the correct amount of fuel for the power being made.
So the dyno is NOT lying.
Ignorance is one thing. We are ALL in of what we don’t know.
Ignorance is bad when someone doesn’t invest the time to understand what is being done.
I call it racer arrogance. I see it all the time at the track.
Just like a keyboard, anyone can buy a car and race it. And put it on YouTube.
None of that means jack crap if you do t know what you think you do. And what’s worse is when you are being told the truth you still argue out of ignorance just because.
That still stuns me to this day.
That’s why I don’t go to the track much. I see guys running in the high 8’s and if they just looked at a video of the car they’d see how far off they are. Like multiple tenths.
It’s a waste of my time and it makes me hate people.
Especially the clutch guys.
So I just don’t do it. When I was making a shitty living doing this I HAD to go to the track to babysit the customer.
I’m done with that too.
I'm not in this, buttlick. I fully agree there's a difference on the dyno and track. But how can it be the dyno's fault? It can't. Now, having said that, I don't give a chit. lol
I don’t expect you to care.
For the guys who do care it matters.
The dyno is wrong. Im a big boy so I’ll say it.
Joe doesn’t have a clue. You can see that in his numbers.
Blaming a tool for bad performance when we know (with a fairly high percentage) what the engine is making for power.
