: Back in Dec: I had the oprotunity to put the
: old Hoopy on a friend's dyno. With a 390
: holley adapted to a 2bbl intk, and
: electronic Ignition the 225 put out 97 Rear
: wheel HP and 153 fp of Torque.
: After a .030 overbore, clifford intake and
: headers, Comp264s cam, minor head work, and
: a homemade windage tray....
: This past weekend she ran 137HP at 178fp of
: torque.
: I always figured HP is harder to get than the
: advertised figures of parts manufac.....but
: I am not disapointed in the results..the old
: bomb is running great. It would be
: interesting to know what kind of results
: others are getting at the rear wheels. I
: know most people can't afford the Dyno
: thing...I just have a good friend.
: Anyway, I promised some of you guys that I
: would get back ...with the results
: Trysix

: Depending on the kind of dyno you were using,
: typical driveline losses are 15-20%. So your
: crankshaft HP and TQ were in the 171/225
: range.

: 40 more H.P. at the rear wheels, thats a great
: improvement.
: Did you get a chance to try some different
: timing or carb settings? (My guess is that
: there are a few more "horses"
: hiding in there)
