hp question
just took car to dyno, not pleased with the numbers
just looking for some input
500hp at 5200rpm
here is the combo
500 ci mopar
12.5:1 cr
700 lift cam prostock roller lifters
port and polished aluminum heads
1.5 roller rockers,
bird catcher with alky
38 degree timing
msd 7al2
the lamda was .7 on both sides
egt ranges 990-1040 F
5000 stall converter, JW ultraglide, strange 9" with 4.10 progears
33x15.5 slicks
i know it was running rich but power should be much better
the first time i went to dyno(different one) i made 610hp at 5000rpm before trans issue.(bad pump)
thanks for the input

The EGT numbers look ok but the Lambda number seems really rich. Here are some numbers I have for conversion from Lambda.
Lambda alcohol gas
1.000 6.450 14.700
0.990 6.386 14.553
0.980 6.321 14.406

Again, not being a wiseass, but . .
Tire guages aren't the same, one reads one thing, the next may be a half pound different. Same with Dynos . . It's all relative. When you changed Dyno's you started over . .
Jus' a SWAG here, but take 2° out of it, lean it out two steps and try it again. Dunno what yer air is but I've never seen many 500" alky engines that liked more than 33-34° of lead . . 'Course, I've always dealt with blown alky engines so there may be some difference.
Take it to the track, as I said in another thread, the race track is the most honest Dyno ever created . .

-it sure does sound rich with those readings, as roadkill2 sez, why not lean it out and see if it responds ET wise..
-also agree on taking a bit of timing away to start with..you can always play with that once you get the fuel closer..

Just want a guestimate of what it should make.

-why not 1100-1200F on the pyro?
-why not .8xx on the Lambda?
-what do the plugs look like? burning any plating off the base?
