Dyno needed soon!!

[allroundpower]

Hi Guys , I have a small block 2nd Gen Camaro (1977). I will be needing the services of a rolling road soon as I'm getting close to firing her up. Have you got any good recommendations. The Car is carburreted, street legal and I have no idea what power I'll get. It could be 800hp it could be 1800hp.....

It's a Dart 406 with AFR 235 heads, AIS methanol injection and twin Procharger F1C's. So the tuner would have to be able to monitor A/F ration whilst making power runs of various rpm ranges. Then jet the carb to suit.

The timing is via an MSD 7531 and it also has an AMS1000 boost controller to enable street driving without severely limiting rpm range..

Any help would be appreciated....

Might be worth giving Charlie a ring or drop him an email at SurreyRollingRoad to see if he can do it..

I would email redvictor1 and see who he uses, also MYM8V8 might know someone. He used to race big block stock cars but now plays with efi.

We don't do carbs, but if you have someone who does the carb work, we are happy to provide the dyno

John Sleath would be the man

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will probably end up driving up to John Sleath's place once I get a basic tune and built TH400 on it...

there is a video on the john sleath website of a blow though carb with procharger he did a few weeks ago,
did an easy 1300 plus horsepower at the wheels!! ( just the one procharger though! )
your car looks awesome . . .

Would love to take a look at it,the main problem I find with blow through set-ups is not being able to get enough fuel into the engine,are you running a reverse powervalve or the standard one boost referenced, ProCharger cars are much easier than turbo cars as the boost grows with the rpm, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE7vsaXR22U this BBC with 15psi and no intercooler but lots of water injection on my engine dyno made just under 1000hp, belt slip was a problem on this one, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buZqXvGCsfE this one we were not trying to make big power as it came from the States with a 2100HP dyno sheet, but even with only 25degs of timing and 22psi of boost at 8000rpm it was still way over 1300rwhp

Hi John,
how are things. We spoke around a year ago when I made enquiries regarding building the shortblock. As you can guess I have just put it together myself. Possibly a big mistake as I'm not a mechanic, or a racer...
Anyway I also spoke to Steve Morris and couldn't afford him either. Great video showing how you can't get less than 1200hp from Jason's van. LOL!!! Time to break out the AMS1000 boost controller.
With the knowledge you have on these types of engines I will be calling you soon. so many other places want look at what you've got. Then rev it to the moon and laugh if it breaks. I want some one whocan look at the data, plugs etc and give me a safe tune. I'll then tone it down via the AMS1000 and MSD7531...


The fuel system I currently have is comprised of:
Stock location sumped tank.
Areomotive filter,-12AN in and out.
Areomotive Eliminator fuel pump, -12AN in -10AN out..
Areomotive Fuel pump controller, for street use.
Areomotive A2000 13202 fuel regulator with
-10 AN back to fuel tank. -8 x 2 to Carb
Carb Shop modified Holley 4150 originally built and run on 1000hp 350 sbc with single F1C Procharger.
It was specced by the "House of boost" so I have no idea which jets, power valves etc. It drove perfect on the street...and idles OK at 11.3 A/F
Thanks for coming onto the thread..

Cheers

David

Don't get your hopes up with the AMS to control the boost,it will be very hard to get right, MSD rpm limits and timing ramps works better and is easy to setup
