It's been a long project, and rebuilding the transmission, suspension and brakes all at the same time was probably not the best plan, but I finally got the engine tune refined on a dyno.
The most amazing part was the car ran nonstop on the dyno at part and full throttle for 3 hours straight and never went above 180 degrees...with one small fan on the front oil cooler and two larger fans pointing into the engine compartment...that part amazed me!
Here's the dyno sheet, specs, and a
link to some videos...235 hp at the wheels and 200 ft/lbs with a nice, flat torque curve between 4500 and 6200. The sound as the cam comes on is addicting and I'm trying not to get into trouble with the car now! Track time is next, but the build goal was a streetable car with occasional DE time as it's also my daily driver (and mountain bike hauler!) I'm pretty happy with the results...the car is a blast to drive! I'm amazed all the parts I bolted together are still together when I hear it rev like this!
Special thanks to many from these forums who helped along the way, and especially to Henry Schmidt and Jamie Novak for their generous advice!
