Default Re: ZL-1, what Hp do you think it will make

Bit more info:
Made 626 with the Hp1000 at 5000 all the way to 7300? Just stayed with 10Hp, YET CFM consumption went up like 130, vac dropped to 1.1?? So how many have seen a dyno keep about the same Hp #'s over 2300 RPM?? Yet our CFM went up 130 CFM. This is where we think the dyno was having an issue.

Design of engine Hp should peak at 7000, tq about 5500.

We are looking at the 5000 RPM numbers to get an indication of where we are as well as the weather station info. Air in the room was 3660 ft elevation and 87 deg F when we made the pulls.

All indications are putting this in the 780Hp range TILL we get the bigger carb on it, or EFI. Looking at another high end chassis dyno in the fall to get this resolved.

all expectations was low 800Hp what we were hoping for.

Thanks
