Pancho gets a new set of lungs

Motor is rebuilt.

Lunati Voodo 284 cam, AFR 195cc Street Eliminator heads, Edelbrock 1406 carb, Hedman headers, x-pipe, Corsa DB mufflers.

Broke the cam in this morning. Continuing with the Vintage Air install.

Thought I'd post a video of the engine startup.

That sounds amazing! What are you running for power roughly?

Thanks Juice.

Chris, I'm really not sure. When I originally had it built, I told the builder to put stock heads on, because I wasn't really looking for a really high performance motor, just something mild and streetable. No idea what I was smoking back then.

After a dyno last year in Amarillo, it was clear the stock heads on it were limiting it's performance. We pulled around 340 HP on the dyno with approx 380 TQ. I kept that in mind, and we moved from Amarillo down to San Angelo. Last month, decided it was time to update the heads (I really haven't driven it much at all since we moved here). And decided to go just a little bigger on the cam.

If I were to "guess," I'd say around 450HP and 490TQ and that may be conservative. We don't have a dyno around here. It was already fast by any reasonable stock motor standard.

If anyone has a desktop horsepower program, I can get all the specs.
